North Africa's most significant wine producer and the cultural home of the Moroccan mint tea ceremony — one of the world's great ritual beverage traditions. Gunpowder green tea + fresh spearmint + sugar, served in three glasses ('the first is gentle as life, the second strong as love, the third bitter as death'), poured from height to aerate and cool. The silver teapot (tray-served to guests) is an icon of Maghrebi culture. Wine production centres in Meknès and the Marrakech/Benslimane zone. The country's tea culture connects to the Marseille Crossroads — North African tea culture met Provençal café culture in the port of Marseille.
