A moroccan inspiration : Leïla’s arabic mint tea is a refreshing green tea from China, generously perfumed with real mint leaves (no aroma) and delicate cornflowers.
In many Arabian countries, offering mint tea is part of the rules of etiquette and is the most refined expression of hospitality. The tea used is exclusively green tea, usually, known for its freshness and its thirst-quenching virtues.
Also known for its medicinal properties, mint tea is commonly used to get over colds, sore throat, sinus congestion, and stomach ulcers. With high antioxidants and vitamins, peppermint helps enhance immunity and health. Seasonal allergies can also be treated by drinking cups of tea made from Rosmarinic acid, an anti-inflammatory agent found in mint. Instead of adding leaves directly to the tea, Nana is made by boiling fresh ground grass with water.
The dosage of Leila is unique, very refreshing, with a light green tea. Discover 3 ways to prepare your Leïla’s arabic mint tea.

Maghrebi mint tea, also known as Moroccan, Touareg and Sahrawi mint tea, is a green tea prepared with mint leaves and sugar, traditional to the Greater Maghreb region. It has since spread throughout North Africa, parts of the Sahel, and the Arab world.
Mint tea is central to social life in the Maghreb. The serving can take a ceremonial form, especially when prepared for a guest. The tea is traditionally offered to guests as a sign of hospitality. Typically, at least three glasses of tea are served, and it is considered impolite to refuse it.
The tea is consumed throughout the day as a social activity, with tea bars filling a similar social function to alcohol drinking establishments in Europe and North America.
The main supplier of tea to the Maghreb remains China.
Traditionally, the tea is served three times. The amount of time it has been steeping gives each of the glasses of tea a unique flavor, described in this famous Maghrebi proverb:
“The first glass is as gentle as life,
the second is as strong as love,
the third is as bitter as death.”

Before, I’ve tried Whittard’s Marrakech Tea, but I didn’t like the flavor of Gunpowder tea that crushed the mint. I like Leila’s tea, because it’s really generous in mint and delicious. I’ll try it iced tomorrow.
