Cómo hacer Té de Menta

Por qué empezar aquí

Gunpowder green tea, a fist of mint, and plenty of sugar: the drink of welcome, of business, of sitting. The pot is raised high to foam the glasses.

Mint tea, or "atay b'naanaa," is a cornerstone of Moroccan hospitality, marking moments of welcome, negotiation, and repose. This ubiquitous beverage is crafted with gunpowder green tea, fresh spearmint, and sugar, creating a drink that both refreshes and revives. Whether shared in the bustle of a marketplace or the quiet of a home, it invites conversation and connection with every pour. The flavor journey of mint tea is as layered as its tradition: from the first bitter sip to the final sweet note. The tea is poured from a height to produce a frothy crown, a gesture that is as much about aeration as it is about the elegance of serving. Enjoying three glasses is customary, each representing a unique taste experience that accompanies the rhythm of Moroccan life.
