Loose Green Tea with Mint - Winter in Marrakesh a milder alternative to coffee • suitable for hot and iced tea • certified organic • 80 g
Organic loose green tea based on gunpowder – a more pronounced green tea with a subtly earthy base and natural caffeine content. The combination of mint gives it a purely fresh taste in the cup, making it ideal for morning and afternoon; according to the manufacturer, prepare 1.5 teaspoons per 180 ml, steep for 5 minutes at 95 °C (for infusion, they suggest 100 °C).
Mint and spearmint give the blend a clean minty impression, orange peel enhances a light citrus tone, and orange blossom with rose petals softens the finish with a gentle floral note. The blend is certified organic. Free from flavourings and artificial sweeteners.
Madn Tea is a Belgian brand of organic loose tea and herbal blends. The blends are mixed in Brussels in small batches. The recipes are based on the family recipes of the founder's mother, who is from India, and rely on precise ratios of individual ingredients and Ayurvedic principles.
The range includes chai blends (a combination of Assam black tea and spices), Golden Milk blends (a combination of spices with turmeric intended for preparing a drink with milk), Ayurvedic and functional herbal blends including collections focused on women's life stages, as well as blends suitable for preparing iced teas.
The basis of all products is loose form, clearly defined composition, and a functional approach: the taste and effect come from real ingredients and their ratios, not from flavourings, instant mixes, or syrups. The brand works exclusively with ingredients from organic farming and all products are certified organic.
Winter in Marrakesh – organic green mint tea
A gentle blend for moments when you want a refreshing and slightly invigorating cup of green tea – ideal for mornings and afternoons. The loose leaf form offers a fuller taste and aroma and avoids plastic bags – only what should infuse goes into your cup.
The composition includes gunpowder green tea, mint, spearmint, orange blossom, rose petals, and pieces of orange peel. The taste is rounded, distinctly minty, and purely fresh, with a light citrus and subtle floral finish – pleasant when you want to lighten your day.
In tea culture, the combination of gunpowder and mint is known for its distinctly aromatic, refreshing profile. Spearmint softens the mint impression, preventing it from being too sharp, while orange blossom and rose add a softer floral note to the infusion. Orange peel completes the taste with a clean citrus accent – without the need for aromas.
The blend is hand-mixed to order to maintain freshness and is certified organic. As a green tea, it naturally contains caffeine, making it suitable mainly for daytime; it tastes great hot or as iced tea. This tea is part of the winter tea collection – blends tailored for cold days and relaxed sipping.
Did you know?
According to a review in Food Chemistry, plastic tea bags can be a significant source of micro- and nanoplastics when steeped in boiling water. Therefore, it makes sense to opt for loose leaf tea or plastic-free bags.
*Note: With loose leaf tea, simply prepare the blend in a strainer or teapot – without a single-use plastic bag.

How Did This Story Begin?
The brand Madn was founded by Naina Madan, who wanted to bring joy and simple rituals into everyday cups. This led to the creation of handcrafted organic loose teas designed for specific times of the day – with an emphasis on pure taste and clear preparation.
The blends are based on family recipes and the use of herbs and spices, which are carefully tuned for balanced taste and aroma.
The inspiration comes from the founder's childhood; these experiences led to the creation of the Elixir collection and an approach that prioritizes quality. Madn sees tea as a shared moment with family and friends and continues the tradition of the chai ritual.
The brand favours loose teas and principles of sustainability (reuse, waste reduction, recycling) and its blends are certified organic according to EU rules.

FAQ
Does Winter in Marrakesh contain caffeine?
Yes. The Winter in Marrakesh blend is a green tea based on Gunpowder green tea, and therefore naturally contains caffeine. It is particularly suited for morning and afternoon drinking, providing gentle stimulation, but usually not as strong as a cup of coffee.
What is the composition and how does it taste?
The blend combines Gunpowder green tea, peppermint, spearmint, orange blossom, rose petals, and orange peel. The taste is distinctly mint-fresh with a gentle citrus and floral aftertaste, while the green tea provides a lightly earthy base inspired by Moroccan mint tea.
How to prepare the tea correctly?
The general recommendation for this green mint tea is about 1 teaspoon of blend per 180 ml of water at a temperature of around 70–80 °C and a steeping time of 2–3 minutes. If you want a more pronounced mint and citrus line, you can use slightly more blend or extend the steeping time slightly – but be careful not to let the tea become unnecessarily bitter.
Can Winter in Marrakesh be prepared as iced tea?
Yes. For iced tea, prepare a stronger infusion (e.g., 2 teaspoons of blend per 180 ml), pour over water at a temperature of 70–80 °C, steep for about 3 minutes, then let the infusion cool and add ice cubes. You can also add a slice of orange or a few leaves of fresh mint for even more refreshing flavour.
When is the best time to drink Winter in Marrakesh?
As it is a green tea with caffeine, the blend is mainly suited for morning and afternoon, when you will appreciate its gentle stimulating effect. Many people choose it as a fresher alternative to strong coffee or black tea, ideally during work, study, or a short break for a tea ritual.
Is the blend really organic?
Yes, in the official materials of the Madn brand, Winter in Marrakesh is listed as an organic tea with ingredients from controlled organic farming and certification BE-BIO-01 (Agriculture EU/Non-EU). This means that the individual ingredients meet strict organic standards and the blend is produced in smaller batches to maintain freshness and quality.
How should tea be stored and how long will it stay fresh?
The ideal way to store the blend is in a well-sealed, opaque container in a dry and cool place, away from direct light and foreign odours. Green tea, mint, and flowers are aromatic – for the best taste and aroma, we recommend consuming the tea within a few months of opening, depending on how intense aroma and freshness you prefer.
Is it suitable for kids and sensitive individuals?
The blend contains green tea with caffeine, mint, and citrus components (orange blossom, orange peel). For kids and sensitive individuals, consider milder dosing, shorter steeping, or possibly choose caffeine-free teas from Madn. Always take into account individual tolerance to caffeine, mint, and citrus; if in doubt, consult a paediatrician or specialist.

Brand sustainability
Why is loose tea a better choice than bagged tea?
Many tea bags contain non-biodegradable microplastics that can leach into the tea when in contact with hot water. In addition, some tea bags undergo a bleaching process using chemicals such as chlorine, which raises concerns about potential health impacts.
The loose tea, untouched by processing, guarantees a natural and intact infusion. Its greater advantage is that you contribute to ecological development through minimal packaging and less waste.
Thanks to its centuries-old tradition and healthy reputation, tea has become an integral part of cultures around the world. Yet the debate over brewing tea bags and loose tea is a crucial factor that many tea enthusiasts often overlook. By choosing loose-leaf tea, you come to terms with both your well-being and the true essence of tea itself.
