Tea has its roots in China, where it has been grown and consumed for thousands of years. China, the world's leading supplier of tea, introduced the beverage to Europe in the early 17th century. Such was its popularity that the British imported it to Morocco in the mid-19th century. 

Originally perceived as an exotic curiosity, tea quickly won the hearts of Moroccans. Initially consumed by the elite, the drink soon became popular and adapted to local tastes. Fresh mint leaves, sugar, and sometimes other aromatic herbs were added to green tea, creating Moroccan tea. 

Much more than a simple beverage, tea has become an art at home, reflecting social importance. Indeed, the master of the house, often the most respected person in the household, has the task of serving tea, reflecting respect for his guests. Every detail of this ceremony, from preparation to tasting, symbolizes generosity and sharing.  

At La Fiermontina Ocean in Larache, this unique vision of hospitality—where luxury meets the values of Moroccan traditions—is always honored in the way guests are greeted. So, as soon as you arrive, don't be surprised to be greeted with atay as a welcome.
