Turkish green tea
In Turkey, people usually drink green teas with mint to help keep their bodies cool in the hot climate. It is frequently called Moroccan Mint.
The plants can be positioned near trees with spring blossoms for delicate scenting and shading. Plum trees and peach trees are commonly used for this purpose. Here is a tea growing area mixed with almond trees on the coast of Anatolia in Turkey.
