The traditional Moroccan beverage made with green tea and mint is mint tea, also called Moroccan or Maghrebi mint tea.
It is typically prepared with Chinese gunpowder green tea, fresh spearmint—known locally as nana—and sugar. The tea is often poured from a height into small glasses, which aerates the drink and can create a light foam.
Mint tea became firmly established in Morocco during the 19th century, as tea and sugar entered the country through international trade. It developed into more than a beverage: serving tea is a major expression of Moroccan hospitality, especially when welcoming guests.
A common mix-up is calling it simply “green tea.” Green tea is the base, but the Moroccan preparation is defined by the combination of green tea, mint, and usually sugar. It is also broader than Morocco alone, since related versions are enjoyed throughout the Maghreb.
