Loose tea or tea bags? Questions (tap to open)
Ataya is the strong, sweet green tea served in small glasses across Senegal, Gambia, Mali and Guinea. Moroccan mint tea is made the same way. Both start with loose Chinese green tea. For ataya, buy loose leaf, boil it strong and pour it from glass to glass to make the foam. Tea bags are easier for a quick cup at work.
Questions we get
How is ataya made?
Boil a good handful of loose green tea with water and sugar, add fresh mint if you like, then pour it from high up between glasses to make foam. It is often served in three rounds.
Is this the same tea used for Moroccan mint tea?
Yes. Chinese green tea is the base for both. Add lots of fresh mint and sugar for the Moroccan style.
How much tea comes in a box?
It depends on the brand. Check each product page for the weight or number of bags.
