Green Tea Marrakesh Nights - Moroccan-Inspired Exotic Blend
Moroccan-Style Green Tea with Peppermint: Traditional North African Blend
Marrakesh Nights combines premium Chinese Gunpowder green tea with whole peppermint leaves, creating an authentic Moroccan-style refreshment. This blend marries the rich, robust character of hand-rolled green tea with the cooling brightness of peppermint, delivering a bold yet refreshing experience reminiscent of traditional North African tea houses.
The distinctive gunpowder tea provides a deep, slightly smoky foundation while fresh peppermint adds an invigorating lift. When brewed, it yields a golden-green liquor with a clean, crisp finish. This revitalizing blend offers a moderate caffeine content from the green tea base, balanced by the naturally caffeine-free peppermint.
