The day ends with tea before going to bed. Tea precedes, accompanies and ends every meal.
Every guest, at home or office or shop, is warmly welcomed with freshly brewed tea. Tea is intricately woven into the social fabric to life and has become a symbol of traditional Moroccan hospitality. Today, there is a remarkably vibrant tea culture in Morocco that the Moroccans are rightly proud of. By the mid of 19th century, Moroccans started to have a strong liking for tea. While there is an interesting story that the famous Moroccan traveler, Ibn Batuta, first introduced tea to Morocco as early as the 14th century, it is only at the turn of the 18th century that the British introduced tea to Morocco. Like many cultures in WANA (Western Asia and Northern Africa) countries, tea came late to Morocco. From the tea to the tea pot, from the tea pot to the tea glasses, and from the tea-glasses to the tea-drinking, the Moroccan tea culture is all about being unhurried and artful, gentle and graceful, warm and welcoming. $100 (set of 4).Nothing defines the Moroccan culture as distinctly as its tea. $22 each.ĭesigned as butter spreaders for Newfoundland and Labrador’s renowned Fogo Island Inn, the minimalist and stylish juniper knives are handmade by artisans at Fogo Island Workshops and are sure to add a touch of hygge to any holiday table.
