More Info
Tea Forté Moroccan Mint green tea combines hand-rolled Chinese gunpowder green tea with fresh nana mint leaves. Also known as atay bi nahna, Moroccan Mint Tea, is the national drink of Morocco, and is the traditional tea of Moroccan hospitality. The green tea leaves are rolled to protect the precious oils, and to early traders, these leaves resembled buck-shot, hence the name. Nana mint is a fragrant mint grown only in North Africa. It possesses a distinctive, mint-menthol-like character. This is a favorite tea of hospitality both in Morocco and the Middle East where it is commonly prepared. It is traditionally served in clear glasses sweetened with sugar. It is believed to be a wonderful digestive aid, famous for its anti-heartburn properties. Studies show that green tea aids in detoxifying the body, regulates your blood sugar, and promotes healthy teeth, skin and bones.

Very Green
I like this tea, but I don't love it. Mint/spearmint is one of my favorite flavors for pretty much anything, but the mint in this is too subtle for my taste. It's probably just my personal preference to have a much stronger mint flavor. It does make for a good cup of green tea without too much of the "grassy" flavor, though.

Easy to be green
Green tea is so good for you, yet tastes so awful... UNLESS it's a Tea Forte green like this one, which is delicious. Right now it's helping me nurse a summer virus (For winter I'd use Tea Forte Sweet Orange Cinnamon).

A Relaxing, Pure Tea
This blend creates a very distinct mint flavor without drowning the undertones of the gunpowder green tea. An excellent tea for spearmint lovers, and great for calming the stomach.

Refreshing
The best tea EVER!! The scent of mint is so refreshing. I always have a cup of Moroccan Mint tea after lunch at work. It is refreshing and re-energizing.
