Three Glasses of Nothing: What Morocco's Mint Tea Ceremony Is Really Serving

In Morocco, mint tea is poured from a height of thirty centimeters — not for aesthetics, but to aerate the liquid and raise a specific head of foam. It is offered in three glasses — "the first is gentle as life, the second is strong as love, the third is bitter as death."
