Tips for Choosing the Perfect Moroccan Tea Set
- Functionality vs. Aesthetics: Decide if you’ll be using your set daily or displaying it. Hammered and vintage brass sets are heavier and more suited for show, while silver and glass sets are ideal for regular use.
- Cultural Authenticity: Look for hand-engraved details, traditional North African motifs, and materials like brass, silver, or enamel that reflect Moroccan heritage.
- Size and Pieces: Tea sets range from 5-piece essentials (teapot + glasses) to full 8-piece ensembles including trays, sugar pots, and glass holders.
How to Care for Your Moroccan Tea Set
- Hand wash only with mild soap—avoid dishwashers.
- Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent tarnish on silver or brass.
- Polish occasionally using a soft cloth and non-abrasive polish to keep the metal gleaming.
