Hi,

Should we explain the difference between 'testy' and 'tasty'?

Hi Sie Whange,

The word 'testy' means quite the opposite of calm - pettish or peevish. And I'd like to think that green tea is very tasty and makes you feel relaxed!

Hi Ralf,
Thank you for the answer.
Thanks to Skrej who clarified the ambiguity about the word " menth". I have some of the french language interference on my tongue.
Yes, Ralf, it has nothing to do with alcohol since our tradition is somehow married with religion. It is just mint tea!
I would like to add that Moroco is in the west of Algeria . tea is less used in the north centre of Algeria than in Moroco or the Algerian desert (south of Algeria) . In the north here , we generally welcome our guests with coffee not with tea , we don't drink it every day and we rarely have it after meals.
Tea in the north here , is a drink of occasions and precious moments . At the contrary, it is the daily drink in the south and the west of Algeria ( borders with Moroco).
The way tea is prepared here is the same as mentioned by Skrej . It is good for diet.
Yours,
Souad.
