A starter Moroccan tea set ($45-$80) includes the teapot and 6 tea glasses — everything you need to brew and serve mint tea. A complete set ($125-$200) adds a decorative serving tray, sugar bowl, and sometimes a tea spoon or caddy. For everyday home use, a starter set is perfectly sufficient. For gifting — housewarming, weddings, Eid celebrations — a complete set with tray makes a more impressive presentation and gives the recipient everything needed without supplementing separately.

Moroccan tea sets are one of the most universally appreciated housewarming and wedding gifts. They're visually striking, culturally meaningful, and genuinely functional for daily use. Unlike decorative items that get displayed on a shelf, a quality tea set is used repeatedly — making it a gift with lasting presence. Our sets are particularly popular for housewarming gifts, Eid celebrations, and wedding registries. Each Marrakeche set ships free worldwide in gift-ready packaging, with optional gift message inclusion.

Our tea sets are curated from the same artisan workshop or complementary workshops within Marrakech's historic metalworking and glassblowing quarters to ensure visual harmony. The teapot is crafted by metalworkers specializing in brass and silver-plating, while the hand-blown glasses are made by glassblowers like our artisan Younes, who works near Madrasat Ben Youssef and shapes glass at 1,200°C. While different hands create each component, we curate specifically for aesthetic and craft consistency.

For 1-2 people (daily personal use): a teapot with 4 matching glasses is sufficient. For a household of 3-5: the standard 6-glass set with a 750ml-1L teapot covers everyday use comfortably. For entertaining or larger households: a complete set with 6 glasses plus spare glasses, a large tray, and a 1.2L teapot handles gatherings gracefully. If you plan to use the set primarily for display or occasional ceremonial use, prioritize appearance over capacity — our engraved decorative sets are designed with visual impact in mind.

Traditional Moroccan mint tea, called atay, is brewed from Chinese gunpowder green tea steeped with abundant fresh spearmint (nana) and sweetened generously with sugar — typically 3-4 sugar cubes per small glass. The tea is brewed directly in the teapot on the stove, then poured from a height to aerate it and create the characteristic froth (rghwa). Any high-quality gunpowder green tea works beautifully in our teapots. Find our complete step-by-step recipe in the Moroccan Mint Tea Recipe.

Absolutely. The elongated spout and built-in strainer make Moroccan teapots excellent for any loose-leaf tea, not just mint tea. The small glasses work beautifully for black tea, herbal infusions, or even espresso service. Many customers use their Moroccan tea sets as their primary everyday teaware — the visual beauty makes every tea moment feel special. The teapot's excellent heat retention (better than ceramic) keeps your brew warm significantly longer than standard Western teapots.

Yes, our Moroccan Beldi tea glasses are specially crafted from thick, heat-resistant glass designed to withstand the temperature of boiling mint tea without cracking. For best results, pre-warm the glasses with hot water before pouring

Absolutely. All our tea sets are made with lead-free, food-safe materials. The teapots feature stainless steel interiors or high-quality brass exteriors, ensuring safe and authentic tea preparation.

Our teapots are designed for traditional Moroccan tea preparation and are suitable for use on gas and electric stovetops. Use low to medium heat to protect the exterior finish. We do not recommend induction cooktops unless specified on the product page, and never use in a microwave.

To preserve the intricate hand-engraved designs and plating, we recommend hand washing your tea set with mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents and dry immediately to maintain its beauty and longevity. Hand washing takes under 5 minutes and protects a piece designed to last 20+ years.

To prevent limescale, use purified or filtered water when preparing tea, especially in hard water areas. Descale your teapot monthly using equal parts white vinegar and water soaked for 1-2 hours, or drop in a denture cleaning tablet overnight for stubborn deposits. Polish silver-plated pieces gently with a soft cloth and store your tea set with the lid slightly ajar in a dry place to avoid tarnishing.
