Mint tea, between cultural ritual and wellness drink
We are accustomed tocombine mint teato Moroccan hospitality. This tea with its fresh notes has been part of the cultural heritage of the Maghreb since the mid-19th century, the period in history when the English introduced tea to North African countries.
Until then, mint leaf infusion was the beverage of choice for many inhabitants of the Maghreb countries. If the arrival of tea was rather well received in Morocco and neighboring nations, it is mainly because tea there is enhanced with this infused mint. From this was born mint tea as we know it today, a delicious blend of tea leaves and mint leaves with thirst-quenching properties, to be infused for just a few minutes.
If offering a cup of mint teais now a basic rule of etiquette in a large part of the Arab world, drinking this tea is becoming more widely accepted as a real moment of pleasure for a large number of tea lovers around the world.
