The Moroccan Peppermint
The secret of our peppermint smoothie: among the peppermint teas, the Moroccan nana mint is considered the undisputed queen. This all-leaf mint is by far the best nana mint we have ever tasted. Their taste is reminiscent of the invigorating freshness of a spearmint chewing gum. The mild sweetness completes in perfect harmony the beneficial refreshing and cooling properties of this special mint and gives the smoothie its uniqueness. At 92%, Moroccan mint is the world’s most exported teas.
The Peppermint Valley
: Info!
We source our mint from the Ourika Valley, This magnificent valley is located close to the Atlas Mountains and is perfect for the flourishing of peppermint. The peppermint perennial needs a lot of sun and little water.
It takes about 45 minutes by car from Marrakech to Ourika. In addition to the cultivation of peppermint, this area is also suitable for great hikes, bike rides or an unforgettable ride on a camel. The colors and gentle hills give the valley a special touch.
