Across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, mint tea isn’t a flavoured drink — it’s a daily ritual. The base is gunpowder green tea, so named because the leaves are rolled into tight pellets that look (and originally were stored like) shot. When hot water hits them, they unfurl in the pot, releasing a slightly smoky, nutty green-tea character that needs the mint to balance. The mint here is spearmint, not peppermint — cooler, sweeter, less aggressive. Together they make a cup that’s bright in the morning, calming after dinner, and exceptional poured over ice on a hot day. Sweeten generously if you want the traditional Moroccan version, or drink it neat for a cleaner, more bracing brew. 🌿Real Gunpowder Hand-rolled Chinese green-tea pellets, not chopped leaf 🌿Spearmint, Not Peppermint Cooler and sweeter — the right mint for a green-tea base ✨Hot or Iced Brews beautifully both ways — built for the heat ✨ The Sampson PromiseWe only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t. Type Green Tea, Flavoured Caffeine Light Origin China & Morocco Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 2–3 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) Tasting Notes 🌿 Cool Spearmint Aroma Bright, sweet, and rounder than peppermint — less menthol, more leaf. The mint hits first and travels with the cup from start to finish. 🍵 Toasted Green Base Body Gunpowder green tea brings a slightly smoky, nutty edge — a bit firmer than a Japanese sencha. That’s the side the mint cools and balances. ❄️ Crisp Finish Aftertaste The cup ends clean and slightly cool — the kind of finish that’s genuinely refreshing on a hot afternoon. Tastes lighter than it looks. How to Brew 01 Measure One level teaspoon (about 2g) per 8oz cup. The pellets are dense — a little goes a long way. 02 Heat the Water 80–85°C / 175–185°F. Bring water to a boil and let it stand a minute — boiling water on green tea will pull bitterness from the leaf. 03 Steep 2–3 Minutes Two minutes for a lighter, more mint-forward cup. Three for a fuller, slightly more astringent brew. The pellets unfurl as they steep — watch them open. Water 80–85°C Time 2–3 min Per Cup 1 tsp For the iced version, brew double-strength, sweeten while still hot, then pour over ice with fresh mint. For the traditional Moroccan pour, brew strong and sweet, lifted from a height into small glasses to aerate the cup. About the Tea 🌿 Gunpowder Green The Base Chinese green tea hand-rolled into tight pellets so they hold their freshness in the tin. The roll exposes the leaf to a brief heat that gives the cup its slightly smoky, nutty character. 🌿 Spearmint The Mint Cooler and sweeter than peppermint, with less menthol bite. Spearmint is the traditional choice for North African mint tea — it lifts the green-tea base without overpowering it. ✨ Two Ingredients The Honesty Just leaf and mint — no flavour oils, no sweeteners, no fillers. The flavour comes from the ingredients themselves, the way the original cup was made. In the tin Gunpowder green tea, spearmint leaves. Origin & Sourcing Gunpowder green tea from China — traditionally produced in Zhejiang Province, where the rolling technique originated. Spearmint sourced for its sweetness rather than its menthol punch. Blended in small batches for the Sampson shelf, the way it has been served in Moroccan homes for generations. Show more
