Golden Moon Tea Organic Moroccan Mint Green Tea

Unfortunately, many customers report receiving a powdery, dusty tea with crushed leaves and stems rather than the whole gunpowder rolls shown in product images. The quality seems inconsistent between batches, so you might get nicely formed leaves or you might get mostly tea dust and stems. If whole leaf presentation is important to you, this might not be the most reliable choice.

The mint presence varies quite a bit. Some customers enjoy a pleasant, aromatic mint flavor when they receive a good batch, while others report the mint being faint or nearly absent. If you're expecting a bold, minty experience like traditional Moroccan mint tea, you might be disappointed. The green tea base comes through more consistently than the mint.

Yes, it can become bitter if you're not careful with steeping time or water temperature. Given the powdery texture many customers mention, the tea releases quickly, so stick to shorter steep times and cooler water (around 175°F) to avoid bitterness. This is especially important since the crushed leaves release their compounds faster than whole leaves would.

Several customers specifically mention it's good value for the price, and you do get 96 servings in a half pound, which stretches pretty far. If you're not too particular about having pristine whole leaves and don't mind a more delicate mint flavor, you're getting a lot of tea for your money. Subscribers also report reliable delivery and consistent quality in their batches.

When you get a good batch, it's aromatic and fresh with a delicate green tea character. The mint adds a light, refreshing note rather than dominating the cup. Think gentle and subtle rather than bold and punchy. It's a softer, more mellow interpretation of Moroccan mint tea, which some people love for daily drinking, while others wish it had more oomph.
