Menta Marocchina

The gunpowder green gives it a nice toasty base that the peppermint cuts right through. I steep it about two minutes and it's still smooth, not bitter at all. Way better than the mint teas I used to grab at the grocery store.

I've been brewing this every morning instead of coffee and the gunpowder green gives it a nice toasty base that keeps the mint from tasting like toothpaste. The peppermint from Washington is genuinely fresh, not that dusty tea-bag flavor. Steeps well at 175 degrees without going bitter.

The peppermint in here is clearly the real deal—it’s sharp and cooling, not muted like cheaper blends. I’ve been drinking it iced every afternoon and the gunpowder leaves hold their flavor through a second steep without getting bitter.
