The Art of Tea: Ceremony & Pastry Workshop

In Morocco, tea is not just a drink; it is a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and tradition. The phrase 'Atay Billah' (Tea by God) reflects its importance. In this hands-on workshop, you will go beyond the surface and learn the true art of the tea ceremony. Hosted in a beautiful Riad, your instructor will explain the different types of mint (Spearmint, Absinthe, Pennyroyal) and how they change with the seasons. watch the ritual washing of the tea, the boiling, and the theatrical high pour—essential for aerating the tea and creating the 'Riza' (foam) crown. While the tea steeps, you will get your hands floury making Moroccan pastries. Learn the delicate technique of rolling almond paste into 'Cornes de Gazelle' (Gazelle Horns) or folding honey-soaked Briouates. Sit down to enjoy your tea and warm pastries, discussing life in the Medina with your host.
