El Bellar Green Tea Very nice tea that does not get bitter from steeping a long time. It is a superb drink hot or iced. Try it Moroccan style, sweetened with sugar. |
In the bazaars of Morocco in North Africa, tea is served on a "sinya" (three-legged tray), plus a smaller tray which holds three boxes, one for green tea, one for mint and one for sugar. The tea is prepared in a samovar which brews strong, tightly rolled tea. Then it is heavily sweetened with sugar and some mint. The tea is then poured into a Moroccan style teapot which is elongated rather than round with a longer spout. The tea is poured from this teapot held high in the air into small crystal glasses with brass handles. Moroccans enjoy the social ritual of making this sweet flavorful beverage which goes well with their hearty lamb stew, couscous, nuts and apricots.
