There is a type of tea in Cairo called “Yen Soon,” which is popular with the locals. You drink it all the time; day, night, whatever the season.
I thought it was a Made in China tea brand. One day, I decided to give it try; sweet with a flagrant flavor and a calming effect.
Honestly, I thought it was a Chinese brand. I was curious about Mr. Yen Soon. Why is his brand so popular in Egypt?
That’s when I embarrassed myself. Yen Soon is Arabic for Aniseeds, and they use it to make Anise tea.
It’s also spelled Yan Soon or Yansun. Well, you learn something new every day.
