This tea sample came to me in an individually wrapped and sealed box featuring the beautiful Ceremonie tea logo on the outside and a jewelry-box-inspired light blue color on the inside. Easily one of the nicest tea sample packaging I’ve seen lately.
The tea itself is simple: pure peppermint. The flavor is cooling (“sparkling” as they put it), definitely the menthol-cold feeling of peppermint and not the sweeter green mint of spearmint. Though I should say that the peppermint has its own sweetness, a smooth almost-vanilla creaminess alongside all the icy herbal flavors.
Peppermint is one of those herbal teas that boasts all kinds of health benefits, from aiding digestion, to increasing mental focus, and more. Personally, I like to drink it on days when allergies or dry weather make my throat a little itchy. The sensory combination of warm tea and cooling peppermint are relaxing and soothing. Since it’s a caffeine-free herbal blend, it’s a great night time brew, perfect to help you ease into the evening.
Here’s the scoop!

Moroccan Mint from Ceremonie. . . . .
I’ve had plenty of mint tea, just mostly peppermint or just a generic mint with peppermint and spearmint leaves. Moroccan mint tea sounded very fancy, and I was super excited to try it. I learned that this tea is gunpowder green tea and spearmint tea, so like many other mint teas it isn’t caffeine free.
The first thing I noticed was how mild the mint flavor is. Don’t get me wrong, you can taste the mint but it is a very mild almost sweet flavor. I really like it. It doesn’t have that sharp, almost bitter flavor that some mint teas have.
Since it is spring, and along with all the beauty of flowers blooming come allergies, I found this to be very soothing on my stuffy nose. I also enjoyed the little energy boost from the green tea because allergies can sometimes make me feel a little drowsy. This was a delicious and very refreshing way to start my day. I feel like mint tea is such a great tea to have first thing in the morning as it gently wakes up all your senses. It kind of calmly welcomes you to your day.
My first experience with mint tea was years ago when I was fighting my coffee addiction, and I discovered mint yerba mate. I remember feeling like it was such a nice, gentle way to wake up as opposed to the aggressive kick you get from coffee. It really helped me through some rough times, and this Moroccan mint tea reminded me of that revelation. I really enjoyed this, and I think anyone who loves mint tea would love it as well!

Taster’s Review:
Today I’m reviewing the Sencha Green Tea Mini Cube from Cérémonie Tea. I’m not one to get overly enthused about a bagged tea but this one is different. Cérémonie Tea offers what they refer to as mini cubes and I find they are a wonderfully functional tea to add to any collection. The mini cubes are made up of a mesh tea sachet and some of their popular look leaf tea offerings…in this case…Sencha Green Tea Mini Cube from Cérémonie Tea.
I received one of the gift sets from the company and I have to say the design of it alone intrigued me. I know I shouldn’t judge a tea by its packaging but this was lovely to see and taste!
The taste of this mini cube was nothing less than impressive, too! I seriously forgot I was sipping on a mini cube the tea quality was so good! I figured sencha was the perfect one to put to the test, too! Most bagged green teas really turn me off but this one was a real winner! It was quite fresh, wasn’t bitter, and reminiscent of a greener green tea, sweet peas, and floral notes.
If you are looking for a delicious green tea that is both tasty AND functional try Sencha Green Tea Mini Cube from Cérémonie Tea.
