  • About

The tea ceremony at the elegant Dar Marjana restaurant in Marrakech. Abdel Azzis, dressed in his Berber robes, complete with turban and Berber knife, kneels before the guests in the old courtyard of the Arab palace on a rug set with trays of Moroccan silver.

It has been said that Morocco is a land that yields its meaning only to those who are able to take the time to draw water and make a pot of tea. There is always time to sit with a friend and sip a glass of tea: time to watch the sprigs of fresh green mint being pushed into the round-bellied pot, the cane sugar carefully broken off and added before the boiling water; time to let the mint and tea leaves infuse; time for the pale amber-green liquid to be poured from on high into the little coloured glasses in which it is served; and time for the glass to cool slightly so that it can be picked up in the fingers and enjoyed.
