Imagine sitting on the crest of a sand dune in the middle of the Western Desert, there's a fire going while the sun disappears on the horizon. Your bedouin guide mixes together sugar, water, black tea and mint leaves into a sweet concoction that's being poured into tiny glasses and handed to you. You take a first sip and feel completely content. It's warm and refreshing at the same time. That's why we love simple tea with. Because it's the quintessential flavour of Arabia past and present. Also enjoyed in Cairo tea houses and at home with friends and family, but at it's best out in the vastness of the desert.
