A Moroccan paradise of organic gunpowder green tea and vibrant mint with a stylish citrus twist. Beautifully fragrant while enjoyed hot, Majorelle Mint is also marvelously refreshing iced. We suggest increasing the savoir-faire quotient by oh-so-casually tossing a few fresh sprigs of mint into the tea pot. Kaftan, optional, but recommended.
Ingredients: Organic Chinese gunpowder green tea, organic mint, organic marigold petals, and natural citrus essence
The world's finest teas and scents should be an everyday luxury. Honoring quality, tranquility and pleasure.
Work – 2:00 PM
Bellocq is one of those websites that pulls you in with its lovely photography and carefully curated collection of blends. I’m not sure that any of their teas are really that great (and a lot of them have rose and/or lavender, which are both no-nos for me). Although to be fair, I do really enjoy their National Parks Dept. and White Wolf teas, and they are somewhat unique blends. But their teas are also quite expensive.
This one is a fairly standard Moroccan Mint blend – gunpowder green tea with mint. Supposedly there is citrus essence here as well, though I’m not sure I pick up on that. The gunpowder green tea is earthy and a bit smoky, with a touch of bitterness in the aftertaste. The mint tastes to me like a combination of peppermint and spearmint? I get the herbaceous, almost musky taste of dried peppermint through most of the sip. Then at the end, I get a hit of chewing-gum-like spearmint. Or maybe I’m just imagining it!
It’s tasty enough but certainly not worth the premium price. And next time I may ignore their directions and steep this at 175° to reduce the bitterness.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Bitter, Earth, Peppermint, Smoke, Spearmint
