thread_title: What kind of mint?

message: I edited out the part that read "five teaspoons of sugar to a teaspoon of tea" because that was just absurd, probably the author meant it the other way around, but as I am not sure about that I just had to edit it out. Pouring 1 teaspoon of tea on top of 5 teaspoons of sugar will get you a gooey white substance at best but nothing resembling tea

replies: text: The confusion seems to be that Sufitul was imagining five teaspoons of sugar per each teaspoon of the tea liquid, whereas what it meant was five teaspoons of sugar per each teaspoon of dry tea leaves. --Delirium 21:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, that explains it. I added the word "leaves" for clarification, as I was confused too. Sounded very sugary! 74.12.182.220 (talk) 18:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

message: There is a potential copyvio with material at .  I've done some analysis and concluded that this is a reverse copyvio and the Wikipedia material is the original.
Firstly, the Wayback Machine indicates the LeJardinsKesali web site only goes back to 2008.  That is not definitive but we can look at our own article history.  This edit clearly shows the origin of the preparation paragraph.  The start of the paragraph has the same wording as in more recent versions of the article.  Over time, the body has been developed to the current wording which is also reflected on the Lesjardins website.
As such, I am reverting the material blanking as it not a copyvio. -- Whpq (talk) 16:26, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Mint tea (Drink) → ? – This article has been boldly moved around a lot. It's time for a formal discussion. The current title is unacceptable, and should redirect to the mint tea disambiguation. The tea described in this article is a local North African version of spearmint tea, as it is prepared with spearmint. This started in August 2004 at , presumably as the tea of the Touareg or Tuareg people. A fork started in September 2006 at . In March 2014, that fork moved to , the mint tea of the Maghreb region (Northwest Africa). In May 2014, the  fork moved to ; rationale: WP:ENGLISH. I don't follow that; if Touareg isn't English, we should fix it. In January 2015, the  fork was finally merged to . Perhaps that merge should have been in the other direction.  and  seem like our best options. Or, for "use English", . --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 10:09, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I think what the other uses was saying was simply that if we decided to (drink) that it should be lowercase not uppercase as it is now. I don't believe that it was a recommendation to do so.--67.68.29.99 (talk) 01:57, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

*Please note: in order to preserve history, Talk:Maghrebi mint tea/Archive 1 now has talk page content formerly located here. That's a little clumsy, since its content is from January 2015, but the archive can be mixed around a bit if necessary. The redirect  now contains the history that started out there before being merged here. Confusing? Yeah, but I think I've made sure everything is preserved somewhere. --BDD (talk) 16:43, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Since my edit got reverted as an advert, I would like to set few things straight: (1) I am OK with the reversal here. The only reason I have added it is due to the fact that I have already written the text for the Tea set and IMHO it was useful here (there are no mentions of tea implements beyond the glasses in the current text. (2) The reason why I wrote the text for Tea set is equally simple: another editor contributed there a similar text using a commercial site as a source. Like you, I do not like commercial element here but, instead of deleting contributions, prefer to replace the links I do not like with normal WP:RS, I rewrote the text in Tea set#Morocco. (3) I do not know anything about Moroccan tea (beyond the facts I learned while writing this text) and am not involved in any way, shape, or form with anything related to this tea. (4) I very definitely do not know the thesis' author, her school, advisors, etc. This is the  only source I have found that discusses the Moroccan tea habits in the glorious detail.

message: Honestly, I didn't check the author at first before undoing my edit, but George's book on the history of tea is well-researched and worth citing. I later found out he's a professor of Historical Linguistics, a field that intersects history and linguistics. MoroccanTeaEnjoyer (talk) 01:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't just about the reliability of the source, it's also about the fact that most, if not all of what you added is already covered in the article in greater details: for example, "Morocco valued tea over Brazilian coffee" is  misleading since coffee was unknown in Morocco, unlike its neighbours (which is the reason why the Moroccan latched onto tea). It's also worth noting that this Chinese green tea (adding mint to it is done in the Middle East too) is consumed in many countries and not just Morocco which is already given UNDUE weight in the article, while the Tuaregs who have done more for its spread in Africa than anyone else are barely mentioned. M.Bitton (talk) 17:04, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, M.Bitton, for your reply. I understand your point now. I too have  noticed that some details in my edit were already covered in the article, and some were unrelated. However, George adds further information in his book, mentioning, for instance, that the habit of drinking a hot infusion of fresh mint was reportedly established in Morocco before the introduction of green tea. He points out that during Moulay Ismail's reign (1672-1727), tea existed in Morocco, with the Sultan receiving tea and porcelain cups from the Dutch. As a historical linguist, George explains that the word "it-tai" or "atay" is a Dutch loanword from "thee" (contrary to the common belief that it originated from French). Additionally, he notes that the Moroccan style of drinking tea was already well established in the royal court during the time of William Lempriere (during the reign of Moulay Yazid Ben Mohammed), whose accounts describe the Moroccan tradition of preparing and drinking mint tea at that time.
