Opinion: Did I really need another Moroccan Mint tea, especially after Stash Tea's Moroccan Mint? Yes! (I really need to get into a self-help program.) The Numi "Simply Mint" is just that - only Moroccan Mint. Stash's is a green tea blend of spearmint and peppermint and lemongrass. I will use both equally, depending on what's left at home and what's on sale. I do give a slight edge to Numi's - it's just a tad more smoother and finished.
