Casablanca Twist from Adagio Teas

Casablanca Twist

Green Tea by Adagio Teas

An interesting twist on the old Moroccan Mint tea, which traditionally combines Gunpowder tea from China with fresh peppermint. We kept the latter, and replaced the smoky notes of Gunpowder with the muscatel highlights of a First Flush Darjeeling from India. The result is fresher, smoother and – we hope you’ll agree – a nice improvement on the original.

minty and delicious, the first “gourmet” tea i ever tried and certainly not the last.

I am actually drinking this tea iced right now. I cold brew in 1L bottles using ~4 tsp of loose tea- and just leave it overnight. Turns out perfect every time. I do add a little gunpowder to the blend, because otherwise it is just too minty for me.

LOVE this! Minty indeed but not as intense as the Herbal Peppermint Adagio has (mind you I love both) but…this is nice because it’s a green tea! Wonderful idea and pairing!

Perfect for after a garlicky-type lunch…now minty fresh! :)

I will certainly have to re-order this at some point. This is the last of my stash for now, tho.

After today’s infusion-worth I will only have enough for 1 more. I like this tea…might order again down the road but not right away as there are stones left unturned in the world of tea…or should I say leaves unturned!? Either way…on to the next!

I can finally taste the hint of gunpowder as mentioned in the description. This is a first for me on tasting this. I oversteeped a lot. I mean…A LOT so I think that had something to do with it. I like it regardless of the steep! It’s a keeper!

Wanted minty but with a twist…lives up to it’s name. NICE

backlogging…

I like this more and more each time I have it! NICE!

Lovely. Simply Put.

Minty, fresh and smooth. Can’t taste much but the mint, but it is not overpowering.

Drinking this at work right now. Very refreshing and smooth. Really don’t need any sugar but occasionally I’ll put just a bit of Splenda in it.

Not too minty, a great derivative of moroccan mint with the substitution of darjeeling. Great cup to go along with an episode of LOST.

Very refreshing and smooth.

Nice and refreshing. Smooth mint taste but not much tea taste comes through. However, it isn’t as strong as straight up mint which I appreciate.

I was surprised by how potent the mint was in this tea. Still made for a great cuppa though.

I absolutely love this blend. It’s fresh and smooth and I always keep it on hand.

I brewed this strong and served it over ice. DELICIOUS with a bit of splenda.
