Mintealogy and Mint Tea for Peace
First at the French Institute of Casablanca
On Friday, January 24, the French Institute of Casablanca hosted a unique event, organized in collaboration with Maison NANA1807: an immersive discovery of Mintéalogie and a Mint Tea Ceremony for Peace .

Mintéalogie Workshop - An Exclusive Experience
From 4:30 p.m., the management team of the French Institute of Casablanca had the privilege of participating for the first time in a Mintéalogy workshop.
This introductory workshop allowed us to explore the art and science of mint tea, through a sensory and cultural approach.
A highlight of this workshop was the Mintéalogie competition, where participants were invited to test their knowledge through an interactive quiz.
After a series of questions on the history, preparation and benefits of mint tea, it was Rania who stood out by answering all the questions perfectly. She won a precious bag of Thé Cœurs du Maroc , a symbol of the richness and heritage of Moroccan tea.

Mint Tea Ceremony for Peace - A moment of sharing open to all
At 7:30 p.m., the Mint Tea Ceremony for Peace brought together cinema lovers and culture enthusiasts, as a preamble to the evening "CineCasablanca, the white city in 100 films" . This moment of conviviality preceded a meeting around cinema, highlighting Casablanca through a selection of one hundred films shot in this iconic city.
A cinematic tribute to Casablanca
The evening posed an intriguing question: what do Martin Scorsese's Kundun , Nabil Ayouch's Ali Zaoua, Prince of the Street and Michel Hazanavicius' OSS 117, Cairo, Nest of Spies have in common?
All these films were shot in Casablanca!

Solidarity Tea HEARTS OF MOROCCO
Thé Cœurs du Maroc , more than just a tea, embodies a supportive and committed approach. Specially designed by Maison NANA1807 in collaboration with the NGO WeSpeakCitizen , this unique mint tea helps support development initiatives in southern Morocco.
Each purchase contributes to the NGO's field actions , in favor of education, the preservation of local know-how and the promotion of ethical craftsmanship. A great way to combine pleasure and commitment!

Thanks
We extend our most sincere thanks to the management of the French Institute of Casablanca, and in particular to Mr. Gaëtan Pellan , for his trust and his warm welcome.
This day was a wonderful opportunity to promote Mintéalogie and to celebrate together the values of peace, sharing and cultural transmission.
