Moroccan mint tea
Atai

Moroccan Tea is called Atai, it is the traditional and most important drink in Morocco, the mehod of prepatation varies from one region to another. for example it is sweeter in the north than in the south, the ceremonial preparation and presentation is very important specialy in the Moroccan Sahara.

We use the typical green tea imported from China, in addition to mint or leaves of wormwood (called chiba in Morocco) we use the "chiba" when we could'nt find mint (winter).
Moroccan tea is served hot with Moroccan cakes if available.
