Moroccan tea is almost similar too. It's yummy! I like turkish coffee too. The liquidy type, not the thick mush!

Myself I am the doodh patti (tea cooked on stove with milk and tealeaves and sometimes also cardamom) type.
But the cups are beautiful.

Clay it looks a bit like morcoocan tea but tastes nothing like it.

Lirun, it is my pleasure :) Oh and teh peppermint and brown sugar thing I must try.

Kaya, some somalis drink this tea with milk so you can make it a dhood patti somali version.
