Moroccan kitchens in ancient times often featured a built-in tea station. Tea, particularly mint tea, is an integral part of Moroccan culture and hospitality. The tea station in a Moroccan kitchen typically included a small charcoal stove, a teapot for brewing tea, and a set of tea glasses. The tea station was a place where family and guests would gather to enjoy the aromatic and refreshing mint tea, often accompanied by traditional Moroccan pastries.
