Tealyra Moroccan Mint Gunpowder Green Tea

Tealyra labels this blend as low caffeine, which typically means around 15-30mg per cup — less than half of what you'd get from a standard cup of green tea and a fraction of coffee. That said, it's not caffeine-free since it has a gunpowder green tea base. Reviewers confirm it provides a gentle, refreshing energy boost without the jitters, but a couple noted it still has enough caffeine that it's not their go-to bedtime tea.

It's not the best choice for bedtime. While the caffeine level is low, two reviewers specifically mentioned that it's still enough to affect sleep if you're caffeine-sensitive. If you have a decent caffeine tolerance, some reviewers do enjoy it in the evening for relaxation. But if you want a true bedtime tea, you'd be better off with a caffeine-free herbal mint tea. This one is better suited for afternoon refreshment or early evening.

Moroccan mint green tea like this Tealyra blend combines the antioxidant benefits of gunpowder green tea with the digestive and soothing properties of peppermint and spearmint. Reviewers specifically mention using it for digestive support and upset stomach relief, and many find it refreshing and mildly energizing thanks to its low caffeine content. The natural sweetness also means you're less likely to add sugar, which is a nice health bonus.

Absolutely — this is one of the more beginner-friendly loose leaf teas you can start with. The preparation is forgiving (it works well hot or cold, and isn't as finicky about water temperature as some green teas), the natural sweetness makes it approachable without needing to add anything, and the low caffeine content is less intimidating than jumping into a full-caffeine tea. The mint flavor is familiar and comforting, so it's a great gateway into loose leaf tea for people used to tea bags.

Most people won't need to add anything. Reviewers consistently mention the natural sweetness from the mint blend, which balances out any bitterness from the green tea base. This is actually one of the highlighted benefits — the natural sweetness reduces the need for added sugar. That said, traditional Moroccan mint tea is often served quite sweet, so if you want to go the authentic route, a touch of sugar or honey works beautifully with this blend.

This tea hits a sweet spot for several groups: beginners who want an easy, forgiving introduction to loose leaf tea; mint tea lovers who want more depth than a basic peppermint herbal; anyone looking for a low-caffeine afternoon pick-me-up; people who enjoy iced tea (this makes excellent iced tea); and those interested in authentic Moroccan tea culture. It's also great for people who want digestive support in a tasty package. It's less ideal for caffeine-sensitive individuals, pure mint tea seekers, or anyone needing a bedtime tea.

Yes — reviewers specifically mention using this tea for digestive support and upset stomach relief. Both peppermint and spearmint are traditionally known for their digestive benefits, and the combination with green tea makes it a pleasant way to support digestion after meals. It's one of the validated benefits that comes up repeatedly in customer reviews, not just a marketing claim.

For the best results with this blend, use water around 175°F (80°C) — not boiling, since that can make the green tea base bitter. Steep for 2-3 minutes to start; longer steeping brings out more of the green tea flavor and can increase bitterness. One of the great things about this tea is it's quite forgiving, so don't stress too much about exact temperatures. It also works beautifully as an iced tea — just brew it a bit stronger and pour over ice, or cold brew it overnight in the fridge.

This is one of the best uses for this blend — multiple reviewers love it iced. You have two options: hot brew it at double strength (use twice the leaves) for 2-3 minutes, then pour over a full glass of ice. Or for a smoother flavor, cold brew it by adding about 2 tablespoons of leaves to a pitcher of cold water and refrigerating for 6-8 hours overnight. The cold brew method brings out the mint sweetness beautifully and minimizes any bitterness from the green tea.

Loose leaf teas like this Tealyra blend generally deliver a more complex, layered flavor than tea bags. You get whole gunpowder green tea pellets and real mint leaves rather than the dust and fannings typically found in bags. The result is a richer aroma, more nuanced mint flavor, and the ability to re-steep the leaves multiple times. Reviewers describe the flavor as having layered mint complexity with natural sweetness — that kind of depth is hard to achieve with a tea bag.

It depends on your sensitivity. This is a low-caffeine blend since the mint herbs dilute the gunpowder green tea's caffeine, but two reviewers specifically mentioned that it still contains enough caffeine to be unsuitable for bedtime drinking. For most people it's fine as an afternoon tea, and some reviewers even use it for evening relaxation if they have a decent caffeine tolerance. If you're highly caffeine-sensitive, you might want to stick to drinking it before 4-5 PM.

At about 1 teaspoon (2-3g) per cup, the 110g bag gives you roughly 35-55 cups. If you're drinking one cup a day, that's over a month of daily tea. And since loose leaf tea can often be re-steeped 2-3 times, you can stretch it even further. Some reviewers mention wishing for a larger quantity because they go through it quickly, and the subscription option offers better value if you find yourself reordering frequently.

For this Tealyra Moroccan Mint blend specifically: (1) Digestive support — reviewers confirm it helps with upset stomachs. (2) Refreshing energy — the low caffeine provides a gentle lift without jitters. (3) Natural sweetness — reduces the need for added sugar in your diet. (4) Antioxidant support — from the gunpowder green tea base. (5) Versatility — works great hot or iced, making it easy to enjoy year-round. The mint blend adds soothing and cooling properties you won't get from plain green tea.

Gunpowder green tea is a specific style of green tea where the leaves are tightly rolled into small pellets that look a bit like gunpowder — hence the name. Compared to flat or twisted green tea leaves, gunpowder tea tends to have a slightly bolder, sometimes smokier flavor and stays fresh longer because the tight rolling protects the leaves. In Tealyra's Moroccan Mint blend, the gunpowder base provides more body and structure than a delicate green tea would, which helps it stand up to the strong mint flavors.

The biggest mistake is using boiling water — that's what can bring out the bitter, overly herbal notes that at least one reviewer complained about. Stick to around 175°F (80°C). Over-steeping is the other common issue; 2-3 minutes is the sweet spot. If you find the mint flavor too subtle, try using a bit more leaf rather than steeping longer, since longer steeping mainly intensifies the green tea bitterness rather than the mint.

Gunpowder green tea is a Chinese green tea where the leaves are rolled into small pellets — that's what gives this Tealyra Moroccan Mint its base. It's rich in antioxidants and provides a low level of caffeine for gentle energy. In this blend, the gunpowder green tea adds a slightly smoky, full-bodied foundation that balances out the bright mint flavors. Reviewers note the layered complexity you get from the green tea base working with the peppermint and spearmint.

The main thing to be aware of with this Tealyra blend is the caffeine content. Even though it's labeled as low caffeine, reviewers note it still contains enough caffeine from the gunpowder green tea base that it's not ideal for bedtime — a couple of reviewers specifically mentioned this. If you're caffeine-sensitive, you may want to avoid drinking it in the evening. Some reviewers also noted a slight bitterness, which is typical of green tea if steeped too long or in water that's too hot.

This blend brings together the health benefits of three ingredients: gunpowder green tea (antioxidants, gentle caffeine), peppermint (digestive aid, refreshing), and spearmint (soothing properties). Reviewers specifically mention using it for digestive support and stomach relief. It's all natural with no artificial additives, and the natural sweetness means many people drink it without adding sugar. It's a solid everyday tea for general wellness, though it's not caffeine-free so keep that in mind if you're limiting caffeine intake.

Green tea is technically a mild stimulant because of its caffeine content, but it's a gentler experience than coffee thanks to L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus. This Tealyra Moroccan Mint blend takes that even further — the low caffeine level combined with the naturally soothing peppermint and spearmint creates what reviewers describe as both 'refreshing and energizing' and 'relaxing.' It's that nice middle ground where you feel alert but not wired.

Green tea generally has moderate caffeine — about 25-50mg per cup compared to coffee's 95mg+. This Tealyra Moroccan Mint blend is on the lower end of that spectrum since it's a blend of green tea with caffeine-free peppermint and spearmint, which dilutes the caffeine content. Tealyra labels it as low caffeine. It'll give you a gentle lift without the jitters, but a couple of reviewers noted it's still enough to potentially keep you awake if you're sensitive to caffeine.

For this Tealyra blend specifically, the main consideration is the caffeine content — it's low but still present, and two reviewers noted it's not ideal for bedtime. Some people may find the green tea base slightly bitter if over-steeped, which one reviewer experienced. The peppermint component could potentially aggravate acid reflux in some people, though reviewers more commonly report it helps with digestion. Overall, this is a mild, all-natural blend that most people tolerate very well.

Brew it at 175°F for 2-3 minutes and drink it plain — no sugar needed. Reviewers note the natural sweetness from the mint blend makes it perfectly drinkable without any sweetener, which is the healthiest way to enjoy it. You can also do multiple short steeps of the same leaves, which is traditional for Moroccan mint tea and lets you enjoy several cups from one serving. Avoid boiling water, which can destroy some of the beneficial antioxidants in the green tea base.

For this Tealyra Moroccan Mint, use about 1 teaspoon of loose leaves per 8 oz of water. Heat water to 175°F (well below boiling), pour over the leaves using an infuser or strainer, and steep for 2-3 minutes. The gunpowder pellets will unfurl as they steep, so make sure your infuser gives them room to expand. This tea is forgiving enough for beginners — if you don't have a thermometer, let boiling water cool for about 3-4 minutes before pouring.

Daily green tea consumption is widely associated with health benefits including antioxidant support and gentle energy. For this specific blend, reviewers mention daily use for digestive support and as a refreshing pick-me-up. The low caffeine content makes it reasonable for daily consumption without overdoing your caffeine intake. The 110g (4 oz) bag should last you several weeks of daily cups since loose leaf tea gives you multiple steeps per serving.

Regular green tea drinkers typically notice improved digestion, steady gentle energy, and better hydration. With this Tealyra Moroccan Mint blend specifically, reviewers report using it daily for digestive support and as an afternoon refreshment. The natural sweetness means you're likely consuming less sugar than with other beverages, and the antioxidants from the gunpowder green tea base accumulate their benefits over time. Just be mindful that the caffeine, while low, still adds up if you're drinking multiple cups.
