Smooth & medium-bodied with naturally sweet & refreshing notes of nana mint.
it’s tea tradition
Keep the tea flowing and the conversation going by serving up Moroccan Mint Oolong! This is our version of traditional Moroccan mint teas that are traditionally served as a way of hospitality, but we gave it a twist. In place of the usual green tea base, we used oolong—perfect for re-steeping so the fun never has to end. On top of that, this powerhouse duo of oolong and Turkish mint is the ultimate digestive aid for when you’re feeling a little bogged down after a heavy meal with friends and family.
What makes it great:
Our version of Moroccan Mint is made with nana mint, which has a similar taste to spearmint and is also sometimes called “Turkish Mint.”
This combo of mint & oolong is great for supporting your digestive system.
Did you know that in Moroccan mint tea with sugar cubes is traditionally served to guests as a sign of hospitality? Why not trying brewing a pot of this crowd-pleasing blend the next time you have company over!

Another new tea!
Moroccan Mint is one of the most common in store tea requests we get and, though we have North African Mint in our assortment (which is our more twisted take on Moroccan Mint), it doesn’t seem to always meet the ask for a more simple, “pure tasting” mint…
We’ve actually carried a traditional Moroccan Mint before too with the gunpowder green tea base, but having North African Mint and Moroccan Mint both in the green tea category feels a little too close for comfort in some ways. So, this tea was developed to meet the spirit of the request for a simpler, more straight forward caffeinated mint blend which being juuuuussst different enough. Walking a fine line, for sure.
The oolong tea that was used is a ball-rolled style, and we actually tried to find one that was not only a visual nod to gunpowder green but that had a few overlapping tasting notes too. So, it’s on the lighter oxidation side but still with some more grassy, mineral and ever so slightly smoky tasting notes. I think it pairs really well with the nana-mint (aka “Turkish Mint”) which is quite naturally sweet and refreshing, with a similar taste to spearmint. If you were blind tasting this tea you might even mistake it for a traditional Moroccan Mint and not an oolong. Definitely a nice way to keep it classic, but also maybe introduce some people to oolong who aren’t familiar with it!?
And I like that the oolong kind of leans in to both the more communal aspect of Moroccan Mint and the functional/digestive aspects of the nana mint. Moroccan Mint is historically served to guests as a sign of hospitality, and oolong just makes such a good big teapot kind of tea that can be resteeped multiple times as the conversation continues. Oolong, of course, also has some traditional use as a digestive (as does mint), so it works on another layer of being a refreshing and feel-good tea after a heavy meal with guests too! And, don’t sleep on this blend iced/cold brewed either. That’s also really smooth, refreshing and delish.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
