FAQ — After Sultan's Meal
What is the caraway found in the Sultan After-Dinner Tea?
Caraway (Carum carvi), sometimes called meadow cumin, is an aromatic seed similar to fennel and anise, widely used in the cuisines of Central Europe and the Maghreb—it’s what gives rye bread its distinctive flavor. When brewed as an infusion, it adds a note of mild, warm spice with a slight hint of anise, a flavor rare enough to make this recipe instantly recognizable.
What does the Sultan After-Meal herbal tea taste like?
This is a herbaceous and aromatic cup, with no sweetness or fruity notes: the mild spiciness of caraway opens the tasting experience, rosemary provides a slightly resinous base reminiscent of the garrigue, and peppermint delivers a clean and refreshing finish. A bold profile that will appeal to lovers of distinctive flavors.
Why is this Sultan herbal tea called "After Meal"?
Its name evokes the tradition of herbal tea served at the table, which is very much alive in Morocco as elsewhere: a warm, aromatic beverage served at the end of a meal, either in place of or alongside coffee. Its herbal profile—caraway, rosemary, peppermint—pairs naturally with this moment, whether after lunch or dinner.
Can Sultan After-Dinner Tea replace my evening coffee?
This is exactly where it shines: like any herbal infusion, it contains neither theine nor caffeine, so you can enjoy it after a late dinner without any worries. Its minty freshness makes it the perfect way to end a meal—especially when many people skip the espresso after a certain hour.
Should you add sugar to the Sultan After-Meal Herbal Tea?
We recommend trying it plain first: its herbaceous and minty notes don’t pair well with a lot of sugar, and it’s precisely its straightforwardness that makes it so appealing at the end of a meal. If you really want to, a touch of honey is enough—it will mellow the rosemary without overpowering the peppermint.
What exactly is in a box of Sultan After-Meal?
Each box contains 20 1.6-gram packets—for a total of 32 grams—each protected by an individual wrapper that preserves the aromatic oils of caraway, rosemary, and peppermint until the moment of preparation. The recipe consists solely of these three herbs, with no added flavorings.
