Kuwaiti tea (; "Shay al Kuwaiti") refers to several varieties of tea traditionally served in that country.

One is a sweet cinnamon tea. This tea is served with breakfast or during the traditional tea ceremony. The tea is created by putting water in a boiler together with cinnamon sticks and sugar. When the tea is ready, it is served with nuts, dried fruit, cookies or dates.
