Moroccan Mint Tea

in Marrakesh

Moroccan mint tea is the city's signature welcome: Chinese green tea steeped with fresh mint and plenty of sugar, then poured from height into small glasses until it turns bright, aromatic, and lightly frothy.

Did you know?

In Morocco, mint tea is as much ritual as drink: the high pour cools the tea, mixes the sugar, and creates the light foam prized in a well-served glass.
