Tea fact
Moroccan mint tea only became Morocco's national drink by accident: during the Crimean War (1853–1856), British merchants lost their usual Slavic and Baltic markets and dumped huge stocks of Chinese gunpowder green tea into Moroccan ports — the locals married it to their pre-existing mint-and-sugar infusion tradition, and within a generation it was inseparable from Moroccan hospitality.
