FAQ: Pure Verveine Sultan
What is louiza, another name for Sultan verbena?
Louiza is the name Moroccans give to lemon verbena, a plant with a lemony scent that is traditionally brewed in the evening, often after the day’s mint tea. Pure Verveine Sultan brings this tradition to tea bags, featuring verbena from the Marrakech region, one of its favorite growing areas.
What does the Pure Verveine Sultan herbal tea taste like?
The brew is fresh and delicate, characterized by distinctive citrus notes reminiscent of citrus fruits without their acidity. The finish offers a subtle natural sweetness, allowing it to be enjoyed without sugar: it is one of the most elegant herbal teas in the single-herb repertoire.
How do you prepare Pure Verveine Sultan?
Pour simmering water over a tea bag and let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes, ideally with the lid on: the citrus notes of verbena are volatile, and the lid helps keep them in the cup. Enjoy it plain, with a dash of orange blossom honey, or iced with a slice of lemon in the summer.
Does Pure Verveine Sultan contain caffeine?
No: verbena is an herbal infusion, not tea, and naturally contains neither theine nor caffeine. That is precisely what makes it the traditional Moroccan late-evening drink: it is served at any time of day, including after dinner.
Should you add sugar to the Pure Verveine Sultan herbal tea?
Try it plain first: verbena has a natural sweetness that often comes as a surprise, and many enthusiasts never add sugar to their louiza. If you prefer a richer flavor, a fragrant honey like orange blossom pairs particularly well with its citrus notes.
What's in a box of Pure Verveine Sultan?
Each box contains 20 individually wrapped tea bags, whose packaging preserves the lemony fragrance of the verbena until the tea is brewed. The blend consists solely of verbena, with no added flavorings or other herbs: this is the principle behind Sultan’s Nature Collection.
