Moroccan Mint

Long story short I’m probably going to change my name on here so just a slight heads up…ugh

I had this with lunch today with CupofTree :D Highlight of my day since in the middle of my day it just decided to go racing downhill. Needless to say I am VERY happy right now that this random person working at the hotel opened my bottle of wine for me in the elevator because I NEEDS IT.

I had this iced to go with my sandwich and it was pretty tasty, given how hot it was I so needed it iced. Not the finest Moroccan Mint I’ve had but it’s hard to go wrong with one as long as its made right. It’s minty and refreshing!

I had this today at the local coffee shop. I very much enjoyed it. The jasmine came through very clearly. It was exactly what I needed.

That’s the end of it. Not in a huge hurry to get it again, but it was nice.

Tried this in my local coffee shop. The first steep at 4 minutes was strong of mint and not much else, but still good. Second steep at 5 minutes had more green tea and floral notes, but the mint was still strong.

Tastes great first infusion. Strong minty flavor. 2nd infusion very weak, a lot of flavor loss. I suggest using a tablespoon of sugar per cup.

The unsteeped tea smells wonderfully of mint. Once brewed, the tea is a dull golden color and the scents of tea and mint mingle plesantly.

First Steeping: The mint dominates, but the green tea is still there. If you like mint, this is for you.
Second Steeping: Same temp, 5 minutes. The second brew showed the green tea more and the mint a bit less. Still pleasant though. The jasmine really shows through in the smell.
Third Steeping: Same temp, 7 minutes. Very weak. Almost flavorless.

I’m really neutral about this tea. It tastes very clean and minty, but I wish it had a stronger green tea flavor—the mint is a bit overpowering to me. Otherwise it’s nice, but still not one of my favorites.
