Moroccan Mint Tea — Green Tea with Fresh Mint

Type: Green tea with mint \ |\  Caffeine: Yes \ |\  3oz loose leaf

Green tea meets fresh mint \— smooth, vibrant, and one of the few teas that's genuinely better iced than hot.

In Morocco this is poured from a height, into small glasses, several times a day, and treated as hospitality rather than a beverage. It's worth trying that way at least once.

The mint does something specific here: it cools the finish and cuts the slight grassiness green tea can carry, which makes this the easiest green tea to like if you've decided you don't like green tea.

Brew it hot: 175\–180\°F, 3 minutes. Sweeten if you're going traditional \— Moroccan mint tea is normally quite sweet.
Brew it iced: double strength, then over ice. Genuinely excellent.

Pairs with: a hot afternoon and a book you're reading outside.
