{"product_id":"organic-moroccan-mint-green-tea","title":"Moroccan Mint","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrganic Moroccan Mint Green Tea — equal parts Chinese Gunpowder Green tea (Zhu Cha, from Jiangxi Province) and organic USA-grown spearmint. Our take on the traditional North African preparation: bright, cooling mint over a smooth, lightly smoky green tea body, brewing a dark gold liquor. Very minty with lots of body, and without the bitterness of the traditional long-boiled version. Drinks well light and unsweetened, or brewed stronger and sweetened for a taste of Marrakesh. Excellent iced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea Type: Green tea and mint blend (Moroccan mint style)\u003cbr\u003eIngredients: Organic Gunpowder Green tea (Zhu Cha, 珠茶), organic dried spearmint — equal parts, nothing else\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Gunpowder green — Jiangxi Province, China. Spearmint — USA.\u003cbr\u003eCertification: USDA Organic \u003cbr\u003eSourcing: Gunpowder — worker-owned cooperative in Jiangxi, grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. Spearmint — organic, USA. \u003cbr\u003eProcessing: Pan-fired green tea blended with dried spearmint leaf; no flavoring oils or additives\u003cbr\u003eCaffeine: Contains caffeine, but less than a straight green tea — half the blend is caffeine-free spearmint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrewing Specifications:\u003cbr\u003e- Water temperature: 180°F (82°C)\u003cbr\u003e- Steeping time: 2 minutes 30 seconds\u003cbr\u003e- Tea amount: 2 tsp (1.5 g) per 8 oz cup\u003cbr\u003e- The leaves will take a re-steep\u003cbr\u003e- For a taste of Marrakesh: brew stronger, add heaping spoonfuls of sugar, serve scalding hot\u003cbr\u003e- Iced: brew as usual, pour over ice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavor Profile: Cooling spearmint, smooth lightly-smoky gunpowder body, dark gold liquor, no bitterness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest For: Mint tea drinkers; anyone wanting an afternoon or evening cup with modest caffeine; iced-tea drinkers; anyone who's built Moroccan mint from scratch and would rather have it in one tin. Less suited to drinkers who want a pure, unblended single-origin green — see Gunpowder Green or Dragon Well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Quote (on our Gunpowder Green base, prepared Moroccan style): \"Another top notch tea. I made it with mint, Moroccan style.\" — Andrea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote on origin: Moroccan Mint is a style, not a place. This tea isn't grown in Morocco — it's our organic Jiangxi gunpowder green blended with organic US-grown spearmint, in a tradition that's been made across North Africa for more than 200 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Red Cup Tea","offers":[{"title":"1.75 oz Canister","offer_id":48667574927609,"sku":null,"price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 oz Pouch","offer_id":48667574960377,"sku":null,"price":47.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/2042\/files\/mint-leaves-2.jpg?v=1784074690","url":"https:\/\/littleredcuptea.com\/products\/organic-moroccan-mint-green-tea","provider":"Little Red Cup Tea Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
