Introduction of Tea
- Mint tea is a drink of Moroccan hospitality. It is poured generously time and time again in the company of guests. It is served, three times in fact, with each glass meaning something completely different – round one is said to be ‘as bitter as life’, number two is ‘as strong as love’ and the final glass is ‘as gentle as death’. Out of politeness, all three offerings should be consumed.. Morocco has become one of the biggest tea importers in the world, sitting at the 11th spot worldwide. In 2018, Morocco imported $220.6 million worth of tea.
Globally, over 3 million tons of tea is produced every year.
