The road ahead, regardless of where it begins and how it starts, remains unknown. But one thing is for sure: forging the path will require a lot of experimentation. Everything from meeting new people \u2014 and understanding which unions tend to click into friendships \u2014 to trying different classes and jobs, exploring global cuisines and learning about the trails criss-crossing a just-moved-to city demands a wealth of trial and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, people from different cultures generally stick with a small range of teas. People in North Africa, for example, drink an enormous amount of blends combining green tea and mint.

Good to see the cup beside you, budding scholar – we hope it’s tea!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGiven our vast inventory of teas from around the world, Camellia sinensis<\/em> globetrotting is not a challenge for us! And the same goes for you, recent graduates. We invite you all to begin your tea journey.

The following trio of teas represent outstanding introductions to delicious and healthy teas from around the world: South Africa, Morocco and Thailand.

\n\n\n\nGraduation Teas: Cape Town Medley<\/mark><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/cape-town.jpeg\")
Our Cape Town Medley delivers immense flavor and health benefits, straight from South Africa.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nEven 10 years ago, relatively few people outside of South Africa had ever heard of rooibos, never mind brewing the hyper-healthy elixir and sipping away. Today, many more people beyond the country have encountered tea brewed from the fermented leaves of the shrub \u2014 but still, it hasn\u2019t entered the zeitgeist with a force commensurate with that of another popular tea alternative, yerba mate. We think it\u2019s time for more and more people to drink rooibos, which offers pleasing earthy flavors and superb health benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Cape Town Medley is built on a foundation of rooibos, and then added pomegranate, pomelo, orange, carrot and safflower to the blend, all of which enhance flavor while adding myriad vitamins, nutrients and other botanical compounds. We carry 14 different rooibos blends at Ku Cha, but all of them contain at least one suite of wellness benefits: electrolytes, which are essential minerals that battle against free radicals. Free radicals damage cells and contribute toward inflammation, one of the human body\u2019s most disruptive conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An excellent side benefit of electrolytes? They offer immense hydration advantages and satisfy thirst. This is a perfect tea for all-day sipping, one sure to tantalize the budding adult while simultaneously optimizing health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nGraduation Teas: Moroccan Mint<\/mark><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/gt_moroccanmint_02.jpg\")
People across the Middle East drink copious amounts of green tea blended with mint leaves and sugar.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nMost people associate ambitious tea drinking with countries like China, Japan and England. And indeed, people in all of these countries sip enormous amounts of our favorite beverage every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the highest tea consumption per capita in the world is in Turkey, and other countries that rank highly for tea consumption, like Morocco, are in the Middle East. And in many of these countries, the consumed tea is a blend; specifically, green tea combined with mint<\/a> leaves, and normally punched up with plenty of sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur Moroccan Mint blend skips the sweetener, although mint on its own broadcasts a natural sweetness. This wonderful blend combines our Gunpowder Green Tea<\/mark><\/a>\u2014a style of Chinese green tea with strong, smoky flavors that is commonly used for Moroccan tea\u2014with spearmint. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe gunpowder green packs a flavor wallop, along with robust stimulation. Meanwhile, spearmint balances the gunpowder tea\u2019s power with its own punch of strong flavor. Does the drink need a sweetener? Not at all\u2014it\u2019s glorious on its own. But if you want to conjure a more authentic Moroccan tea experience, a bit of sugar is a fine idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We love introducing people to our Moroccan Mint. Even those who don\u2019t love tea tend to savor this blend. And for any post-graduate suddenly navigating a brand new life, this tea will serve as an able co-pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
