Moroccan Tea Ceremony

 It seems like the Moroccans take their tea drinking very seriously. Traditionally tea is served three times during the famous Moroccan tea ceremony. The tea is green gunpowder tea with sugar and mint. Sounds like something well worth a try. The following proverb describes tea drinking quite well, I think.

Le premier verre est aussi amer que la vie,le deuxième est aussi fort que l'amour, le troisième est aussi doux que la mort.

The first glass is as bitter as life, the second glass is as strong as love, the third glass is as gentle as death.
