Delicious! This is a first time for me! I’ve never had Morrocan Mint of any kind and I rarely taste a green tea I like. Wow! This is delicious. :) The mint nose is so delightful and the gunpowder hits on the tail for a nice spicy finish. I really enjoy the whole flavor.

I did overheat the water… I looked up how to online for a Morroccan mint since I didn’t know what I was doing and it said to simmer it in a pot for 5 minutes. I let the water get too hot so it came to a boil and I reduced it to a low simmer. I can tell that added a slight bitter afternote, but the mint was so strong I could barely taste it. Next cup will be made more carefully and I will see how it affects the taste.

On this, I think I could do with the Gunpowder being stronger. I want to now taste gunpowder by itself. That is an interesting tea. :)

I drank it with a bit of sugar and it was delightful. Wanted more :D

Thank you to Carol Who for including this in her sample pack she sent me. ^^ So sweet of you! I adore it!

I rated this 79 because while I think I would buy more of it, I’m going to sample a few more Morrocan mint teas before I select a variety so I’m not sure I’ll buy it yet.

Ask me for a $5 gift cert to Adagio if you’ve never ordered from them!

As for tea, loves flavored black teas, herbals, and good lattes most. Green is hit or miss with me and I haven’t found a white I like yet. I like my tea sweet, no matter how much some tea connoisseurs turn their noses up at me for it. I love trying new teas and I’ll try anything once!

I noticed this elsewhere on the site so I’m going to post a ratings legend as well:

95-100 Favorite; This is one of my favorite teas. I will want to keep this in stock all the time. I will drink a lot of this tea. I’m likely to send samples of this in swaps because I LOVE it and want to SHARE my love of it with you!

90-94 Excellent; Some of the best teas I’ve tried. Delish. I will probably buy more.

80-89 Very Good; I liked it and would like to have it again for sure. I will surely buy it again at some point. Not quite “The best” of any category, but some good stuff to be sure.

70-79 Pretty Good; Maybe it’s just not quite my type of tea or not quite my flavor, but I acknowledge that it’s a good tea. I might drink it again if the mood strikes me. Not very likely to buy it again. May still recommend it to others based on their tastes.

50-69 Okay; I probably won’t buy it again, but will probably finish drinking what I have. It’s not bad. Not good… but not bad. I probably won’t recommend it.

50 or less Meh; I didn’t really enjoy this tea. I won’t buy it again and can’t recommend it.

10-0 I must have really, really hated this tea. It may have killed my puppy or absconded with my cheesecake. I’m pretty sure it killed Professor Xavier.
