Moroccan Arabic: اتاي
Atay is the Moroccan Arabic word for tea. This differs from the Standard Arabic word for tea: shay (شاي)
Tea is a very big part of Moroccan culture, with many families serving it more than once each day. Mint Tea – atay bi na'na' – is made by steeping green tea with fresh spearmint leaves and is particularly popular.
Atay is served from a Moroccan teapot – called a berrad – and served in tea glasses.
