Pairing Tagine correctly — a note on Moroccan mint tea

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Tagine. I ordered it with Moroccan mint tea and the warmly spiced and aromatic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. harissa in particular became more prominent in a good way.

hospitality rituals including mint tea service are integral to the food experience. The a desert camp dinner is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Tagine with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
