Moroccan tea mint, also known as nana mint, is part of the Moroccan national drink, along with green tea, hot water and lots of sugar. This is due to the fact that the people of Morocco had a great need for energy, which in areas where not much grows, such as in the desert, was often met in the form of this heavily sweetened tea. Moroccan mint tea is affectionately referred to by the Berbers as 'Whisky Maroc' because the color is reminiscent of whisky.

USE
Moroccan tea mint has a particularly lovely aroma and is one of the most popular mints for making teas. However, it is also particularly suitable for decorating food and drinks. Moroccan tea mint has a mild menthol scent. The leaves are therefore ideal for scented bowls or herbal cushions.

CARE
Moroccan tea mint thrives anywhere, but prefers a semi-shady location. Moroccan tea mint grows in normal garden soil, but it should not be too dry and should be sufficiently fertilized. Protect Moroccan tea mint from frost before winter, as it is only partially hardy. However, most plants will survive the winter well with a cover of fir branches and leaves. Seed-resistant variety.
