2x2 zellige tiles or zellij are an ancestral north African art. The tradition has been treasured from one generation to another and today only very skilled craftsmen can achieve these complex geometric mosaics works. Ideal for wall and floor coverings, but also for fireplaces, fountains or even swimming pools, Moroccan tile has inspired many architects and designers to create custom original works.


How we make our 2x2 zellige.


Zellige has been made in Morocco for over a 1000 years. Finding the highest quality clay is extremely important to produce the finest Zellige tile. The region of Fez has one of the best quality clays in Morocco.

The clay is soaked in water until it reaches a soft texture. Once the clay is soft enough to handle it is filtered by hand.

After filtering, a skilled craftsmen flattens the clay by hand into squares. This part is very important because the clay must be compact with no air bubbles in it.

Raw Zellige clay tiles are then allowed to dry outdoors, like adobe. Most tile production takes place in the summer, early fall and spring.

After the clay is shaped, molded and flattened, it is kept and stored in a cool dry place to be readied for a first bake.

All fired up from clay to kiln.


After the uncured Zellige tiles are dried another skilled craftsmen applies the colors to the top of the tile.

The Zellige tiles are now placed in natural, wood fired kilns. In traditional moroccan Zellige kilns, heat circulates unevenly, resulting in slightly different tones and colors for each tile. This imperfection makes Moroccan tiles so unique and beautiful.

The end product is a 2"x2" tile with uneven edges and remarkable texture, unlike any other tile on earth.

A tile apart what makes zellige so extraordinarily special.


Zellige making is considered an art in and of itself. This art is transmitted from generation to generation by master craftsmen. There are three craftsmen needed for Zellige. The first selects the tiles and then draws the shape desired and passes the tile to the next craftsmen.

The most important part of this entire process is the third craftsmen, also called the master craftsmen. He specializes in cutting the excess clay and performs precision cutting. The end results are an incredible variety of shaped pieces that are assembled to create intricate Zellige patterns. The possibilities are unlimited.

Great results for over a year (as needed).
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
This brand was recommended by a staff member at my local co-op; they generally know a good deal about their products. I've used it for a year and I get great results with the sublingual tablets. They dissolve under my tongue in 10-15 minutes. The orange flavor is nice, but remember to rinse all of the toothpaste from your mouth or it could affect the citrus taste. I have no "next day" sleepiness from these. This dosage is high, so I'd recommend starting at the 1 mg dose and go from there. Amazon offers a great price; I still shop at the co-op for fresh foods and spices, but I'll switch to Amazon for these tablets.

Source Naturals Melatonin Orange Flavored Chewables
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
This product is used for occcasional sleeplessness. The product is made by Source Naturals located in Santa Cruz, CA. It contains 5 mg of melatonin and 338 mcg vitamin B6 (from pyridoxal-5). I ordered this product after viewing a Dr. Oz episode about premenopausal and post menopausal symptoms of sleeplessness. Melatonin is a neurohormone produced by humans by the pineal gland (cone shaped organ of the brain that secretes the hormone melatonin into the bloodstream. It is one of the endocrine glands and is situated beneath the back part of the corpus callosium). It helps the body to ease into a restful sleep. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant. I purchased Source Naturals' Bio Align product NightRest with melatonin multi nutrient and herb complex, but only tried it while I waited for my melatonin to arrive. When it arrived, I realized I had purchased a similiar product at a cheaper cost than the huge retail whole-food chain. This is an excellent product and it performs exactly as the manufacturers suggest. However, I find that their NightRest works much quicker. I take one tablet at around 7 p.m. and I'm out by 9:30-10 p.m. I get a peaceful nights sleep, and I sleep through the night. I wake rested and ready to start my day. Either product would be super. Order according to your needs.

BEST SLEEP AID EVER!
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
Most nights, I place 1-2 under my tongue, allowing them to dissolve, and fall asleep quickly. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night, I get right back to sleep easily. I usually combine this melatonin with Source Naturals L-Tryptophan too (1-2 at bedtime) with a glass of water, followed by the melatonin under my tongue. GREAT combination for those who have a hard time sleeping at night, or who have a temporary problem that is keeping them awake. Not necessary to use every night, only as needed. The L-Tryptophan can also be taken midday if you are stressed; however, NEVER use either of these products, or this combination of products, if you take prescription antidepressants or sleeping pills. I started using them 20 years ago instead of prescriptions because of the side-effects of drugs....OH, this sublingual melatonin has great flavor too (dissolve this melatonin under the tongue so it delivers directly to the bloodstream) .

Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
Definitely works for me. Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover. Works great for me but not as well for my stepmother. She has severe insomnia and has been on sleeping medications for years. She tried taking this to go a more natural route but did not even affect her.

surprised!
I actually didn't realize I had ordered "time released" version. I thought these were just normal melatonin. But now that I've tried these, I love them so much better than the regular version! Helps me sleep better through the night. No taste, love this brand of Source Naturals.
