Moroccan Mint Tea Culture

Mint tea has long been a staple of Moroccan culture. Also known as Touareg tea, Moroccan mint tea is prepared with meticulous precision to ensure the proper balance of the mint flavor. A good mint tea should engage and refresh the pallet but not overwhelm it. The burst of mint flavor is the perfect compliment to a Moroccan meal or when relaxing for a casual chat with friends. Moroccan mint tea is traditionally prepared and served to guests by the head of the family and is considered impolite to decline. It is quite a compliments when you hear people asking for refills again and again and calling it the best tea they ever had!
