This rinse is essential — never skip it.

Tea is the heartbeat of Sahrawi social life. The tea ceremony, called atay, is a sacred ritual of hospitality — refusing tea is considered deeply impolite. It is always served in three rounds: the first is strong and bitter like life, the second is balanced and sweet like love, and the third is gentle and mild like death. The tea master pours from great height to create the coveted froth, a sign of skill and respect for guests.
