Malian Tea
Prevalent throughout the Sahel, this tea is a concentrated, sweetened brew that is served in small cups. The teapot itself is small, and it seems that everything has been shrunk due to the power of tea.
Malian tea is a sweetened, intense drink delivered in three bursts in miniature cups. Since the first part of the tea is a bitter and vigorous taste, it is called "death." The second serving is dubbed 'life' because it becomes sweeter. 'Love' is the name of the last and last ratio. In Mali, drinking tea is a time to relax and mingle.
The Mali and Mauritania tea ceremonies are common throughout North Africa. The type of tea used is usually Chinese green tea. The tea is brewed over charcoal and then poured into another pot. It is poured back and forth and then into the glass. It is usually made and served by the man in Mali and Mauritania.
