In the heart of Morocco, mint tea is not just a beverage; it's a symbol of hospitality. Traditionally served to guests, at business gatherings, or simply when the thirst strikes, Moroccan mint tea is a staple of North African culture. It's also the main thirst quencher in the Sahara, after water, thus making it the most popular tea throughout the region, always served hot. As the largest importer of Chinese green tea worldwide, Morocco offers this unique green tea with fresh mint, steeped three times to offer distinct flavors in each infusion.
Traditionally, Moroccan mint tea is prepared by bringing fresh mint (often nana mint), gunpowder green tea leaves, and sugar to a boil in a teapot or kettle, then poured from high above the glass to swirl air through the brew. This creates a sweet, aromatic drink with a bold green tea flavor and cooling spearmint essence. Many tea drinkers in Morocco enjoy the ritual of the first glass, second glass, and third glass, each with its own taste and aroma. Though mint is the star, other herbs like sage can be added for variation. Whether you're serving a cup to guests or sipping it solo, Moroccan tea culture is all about hospitality, flavor, and tradition.
This ritual is best described in a famous proverb about Moroccan mint tea: "The first glass is as gentle as life, the second glass is as strong as love, the third glass is as bitter as death." Each steeping time brings a unique flavor profile, much like the journey of life itself.
