Attaya

Attaya isn't so much a tea ceremony as something to do when there's nothing to do. In the villages, there would be up to 5 attaya brewings a day in the compound courtyards, which is surprising since it takes about 2 hours total for the necessary 3 rounds. It is almost always brewed by men, and both the brewing and distribution of the tea follows a hierarchy.

Water is first heated in a tiny teapot on coals, then a small glass of green tea leaves is added (the tea is from China, bizarrely enough). A similar amount of sugar is added, then the laborious mixing and frothing process begins. First, the tea is poured back and forth from pot to glass to pot. Then, tea is poured back and fourth between glasses from gradually increasing heights to create forth.
Next, the liquid tea is poured back into the pot to reheat, leaving the tea foam in the glass. The brewer washes the tray and outside of the glass, being careful to leave the foam be. Finally, a small amount of tea is poured into the glasses and the glasses begin to cycle around the gathered people by their place in the unspoken hierarchy--guests, men, sometimes women, and occasionally children, in that order. After someone has drunk their tea--as quickly as possible, slurping if possible to show that it's good--the glass is refilled and passed to the next person. As a result, the first people to drink get the most foam, while those at the bottom of the hierarchy get more dredges.

The same tea leaves are used to make three rounds, each round weaker and sweeter than the last. This is supposed to symbolize how the longer people are together, the sweeter it is--and indeed, the tea making is very social. Attaya also ties into the idea of manliness--first, because it is a symbol of manly skill, and good attaya brewers are respected for it, and second, because the increasing weakness of the tea means it's suitable for weaker people--real men go for the first round, women and children are included in the second and third rounds. (This is the paragraph that makes it really obvious that I'm a Sociology/Anthropology major.)

Attaya is not something you can order in a restaurant, because it's a social process. It has a high sugar and caffeine content. If you're looking to make your own, there's an exhaustive but interesting article on the step-by-step process here.
