Origin: Moroccan Mint Green Tea | Cool spearmint • Smooth gunpowder green tea • Subtle smokiness • Caffeine Making That Green is a classic Moroccan mint green tea: smooth gunpowder green tea meets cool spearmint for a crisp, refreshing brew. Gunpowder green tea is an earthy, smoky, and slightly nutty tea created by carefully plucking, steaming then tightly rolling the leaves into small pellets. This preparation method ensures a stronger flavor and higher caffeine content. Enjoy it hot or iced, with a generous amount of sugar. Historical and Cultural Contexts: Morocco is the origin of a green tea with spearmint traditionally consumed across North Africa. This tea is a critical component of Moroccan hospitality, and guests may be treated to a showy tea-drinking ceremony during which the mint tea is poured from high above into ornate drinkware. It is consumed frequently throughout the day, and traditionally, in servings of three glasses at a time. It is unclear when tea was first introduced to Morocco, but it was established as a popular beverage during the Crimean War of the 1850s closed ports and forced the British to find a new market in which to sell tea. Ingredients: Gunpowder green tea, spearmint leaves, natural flavoring
