A smooth and delicious minty green tea in the vein of Moroccan Mint

Another one of my favorite teas from my travelin’ days was Moroccan Mint. They drink it all day and when in Rome do as the Romans do…

It’s a pretty simple tea, but they nail it. Usually just spearmint, peppermint, and gunpowder green tea. I dropped the peppermint and added a tiny bit of licorice to represent the sugar that is typically added to the tea (I don’t typically add sugar to my tea, but like I said, when in Rome…). Fun fact: You may notice two teapots next to each other in Morocco – one with a tassel, one without. The tassel means there’s sugar in the pot!

The art was done by UNKLEMUK, THEartist, an interesting artist I met serving tea at an art show in Mt Airy. He’s young and I really dig his style. If I had to describe it, I’d use the phrase, “psychedelic warlords of the apocalypse.” Very colorful, graphic, and well, Metal. I thought given the attitude of the tea Muk would be perfect for the job and he did not disappoint.
