About Moroccan Mint Tea
Gunpowder green tea with fresh spearmint and sugar. Called Moroccan whiskey for its importance in social life. Poured from height to create a frothy head. The tea pouring is an art form and sign of hospitality. Three glasses represent life, love, and death. Refusing the first glass is considered rude.
