Sultan Tea Guide: The Different Kinds of Moroccan Sultan Tea Explained

If you search for “Sultan tea”, you will quickly find that it is not one tea but a whole family of Moroccan teas. Sultan is a well-known Moroccan tea brand, and its range runs from classic loose-leaf green tea for the teapot to herbal tea bags, scented blends, black tea and even a rose infusion. This guide explains the main kinds so you can pick the right one for your cup.

The Main Kinds of Sultan Tea

1. Loose-Leaf Moroccan Green Tea

This is the heart of the range. Loose green tea is what Moroccans use to brew the famous mint tea, poured from a height into small glasses. Lines such as Chaara, Jawhar, Al Bahia, Baroud, Assala and Al Atik differ in leaf style, strength and aroma. Our full breakdown is in Sultan Loose-Leaf Green Tea: Chaara, Jawhar, Al Bahia and More.

2. Herbal Green Tea Bags and Blends

For a quick cup, Sultan offers 20-bag boxes that combine green tea with mint, sage, caraway, rosemary, liquorice, verbena, chamomile or green anise. They suit people who want Moroccan flavour without a teapot. See Sultan Herbal Tea Bags: Mint, Sage, Verbena and Chamomile Blends.

3. Ambar Scented Teas

The Ambar range mixes loose green tea with flavours such as orange blossom, oregano and other aromatics, for people who like a perfumed, rounded cup.

4. Black Tea and Rose Infusion

Not everything in the range is green. Sultan also makes an Imperial black tea blend and a Forever Rose infusion from its Excellence Collection. Read more in Sultan Imperial Black Tea and Forever Rose Infusion.

How to Choose the Right Sultan Tea

• For traditional Moroccan mint tea: choose a loose-leaf green tea and add fresh mint and sugar to taste.
• For convenience: choose tea bags, especially mint or mint and sage.
• For after dinner or before bed: look for the After Meals or Good Night blends, which are traditional herbal combinations.
• For gifts: larger loose-leaf packs or the rose infusion look and smell special.
• For a caffeine-free option: check the product description, because some blends are mainly herbal while others are built on green tea.
