Moroccan tea service and homemade pastries at Kui-Zin, Marrakech medina

Mint tea, a ritual

It's not a drink, it's a ritual. Green tea, fresh mint, sugar — and it's poured from high up, to aerate the tea and create foam on the surface.

A surprising detail: tea is not an ancient product in Morocco. It was introduced by the British in the mid-18^th century, through the ports of Mogador (Essaouira) and Tangier.

The balance changes by region: very sweet in the north, more fragrant in the south where saffron is sometimes added. At Kui-Zin, it's served however you like it, any time of day.

Homemade Moroccan pastries: gazelle horns, briouates and sesame cakes

The pastries

Gazelle horns, briouates, sesame cakes: the pastries are homemade, like everything else.

Gazelle horns — thin pastry rolled around an almond filling, probably the best-known Moroccan pastry. Briouates — small triangular pastries, filled with meat or fish, and in the sweet version, with almonds.

You’ll also find them for dessert at the Moroccan buffet, lunch and dinner.
