Entering a café in downtown Tunis is a fascinating experience... You step into a unique universe, the territory of strong coffee, the short 'espresso', the small 'capucin', or the 'direct', this milk coffee often served with your choice of how many small cubes of sugar, and often with a straw...

What is the connection between a capucin and a cappuccino in Tunis? 
No! We're talking about two completely different drinks.

If you prefer tea over coffee, you'll feel at home in Tunis:
Green tea with mint in the morning, green tea with pine nuts in the afternoon.
Sweet green tea, of course.
