뜻
The common action of consuming tea.
문화적 배경
Tea is called 'Atay' and is prepared with green tea, lots of mint, and sugar. It is poured from a height to create bubbles. Tea is the national drink. 'Shay Koshary' is a popular way to prepare it, where tea leaves and sugar are placed in a glass and boiling water is poured over them. Tea is served in 'Istikan' glasses. It is very strong, dark, and sweet. It is often served after every meal without exception. While coffee is very important, tea (often with saffron or cardamom) is served alongside or after coffee during social gatherings. Tea is often served with 'Maramia' (sage) or mint, especially in the winter to keep warm.
Never refuse the first cup
Even if you don't want much, accept the first cup of tea to show respect to your host.
The 'Al-' is key
Always use 'Al-Shay' when talking about tea in general to sound more like a native speaker.

It's hot!
Arabic tea is served at boiling temperatures in thin glasses. Hold the glass by the rim to avoid burning your fingers.
Sugar is default
If you don't want sugar, you must say 'bidun sukkar' (without sugar) immediately, as it's often added during brewing.
