Hello,
A few years ago, we visited Morocco and enjoyed some wonderful mint tea there. Now I would like to grow mint here as well. Does anyone know this variety and have experience with it?

Thanks for the tips

How many mint leaves do you put in a cup of tea? Just pick them off and pour boiling water over them?

I'm getting the hang of it. About 15 sheets, then you get a good aroma.
Do you have the plants in the garden or indoors? I didn't receive any care instructions 🙁

From my own experience, I can say that finding oriental mint is not that easy! But I managed to find it in a well-stocked DIY store.

Besides tea (I use a whole stem per cup), I also like to use the leaves for mojitos and couscous salad.

I also enjoy drinking mint tea. I like mint best when I grow it myself in my garden. I know there are many varieties of mint, but I have not heard of the Moroccan variety before. I would be interested to know where I can buy it.

I am also a fan of mint tea from my own garden; unfortunately, I am not familiar with Moroccan mint. However, this variety sounds very promising. I will have to ask at my favorite garden center if they carry something like that.

Well, I know better mints. I really like Mentha aquatica, also known as water mint.
