Only after independence the population in the southern part of Mali got to know about tea, when government opened shops in which green tea, black tea and coffee, and many other things, were sold. Green tea was always held in special esteem, as there was a specific ceremony connected with its consumption, which conveyed a flair of elegance ad exclusivity. Taking tea in Mali was not associated with French colonialism (different from black tea and coffee). The green tea ceremony became more well-known when individuals from northern Mali, who worked in the administration in the different towns, regularly took tea and invited their friends and colleagues. They had regular salaries, which enabled them to purchase green tea that was still considered a luxury in the first decades of independence.
