In ancient Egypt, kitchens were equipped with a built-in tea station, showcasing the significance of tea in Egyptian culture. The tea station in an Egyptian kitchen typically consisted of a small stove or burner, a teapot for brewing tea, and a set of tea cups. Tea was often infused with herbs and spices such as mint, chamomile, or hibiscus, creating unique and flavorful blends. The tea station provided a space for family and guests to relax and enjoy a cup of tea, often accompanied by traditional Egyptian sweets.
