Attaya

Chinese gunpowder green tea brewed three times from the same leaves, each round sweeter than the last, poured from a height into small glasses until it foams — an afternoon, not a drink.

Pinagmulan

Recipe ni Senegalese home kitchens · 🏺 Traditional · Everyday Senegalese cooking — the one-pot rice-and-fish table of Dakar and the coast, built on onions, lemon, chilli and groundnuts.

Senegalese · tea ritual — An ownerless traditional practice, so no cook is credited. The cited article is about Senegalese tea culture specifically and confirms the gunpowder green tea, the three successive rounds of increasing sweetness, the mint and the pouring-from-a-height foam. Quantities and timings are this book's own.

Mga hakbang

  1. Put the tea in a small teapot, pour in 100 ml of boiling water, swirl it 20 seconds and pour that first water away.

    💡 That first rinse takes the dust and the harshest bitterness off the leaves. Skipping it makes the first glass undrinkable.

  2. Add 300 ml water and 60 g of the sugar, set the pot over a low flame and let it come to the boil slowly — about 15 minutes.

  3. Pour a little between two glasses from as high as you can manage, back and forth, until a thick head of foam builds. Pour it back into the pot.

    💡 The height is what makes the foam, and the foam is how attaya is judged. A short pour gives flat tea and a hostess who is embarrassed.

  4. Serve the first round in small glasses. It is strong and only lightly sweet — this is the bitter one.

  5. Add another 300 ml water, 70 g sugar and half the mint to the same leaves, boil again, foam again and serve the second round.

  6. Repeat once more with the last of the water, sugar and mint. The third glass is the sweetest and the mildest.

💡 Mga tip

  • The three rounds are said to be bitter as death, mild as life and sweet as love. Leaving after the first is genuinely rude.
  • The whole thing takes over an hour and that is the point. Attaya is how visits are measured in Senegal.
  • The glasses are tiny — 50 ml. Serving it in a mug misses the whole shape of the ritual.
