Ritual & Secrets of Mint Tea

Which glass for a Mint Tea?

At Maison NANA1807, the Mint tea glass represents what the mannequin is for Haute Couture - it highlights the Mint tea . The glass influences the perception as much as the sensations before tasting Mint tea .

To convince yourself of this, you are invited to one of our tasting sessions of MAISON NANA1807's Mint Teas. The same Mint Tea served, in three glasses of varying heights, widths and shapes, will give you the impression of drinking three different Mint Teas . The texture, aroma and flavor are not the same.

According to our Mint Tea Expert, the container must bring an additional seduction to the tasting of Mint Tea :

"We put a lot of time into developing each of our Mint Tea recipes , so it is important that our products are presented in the right glasses. The nobility of Mint Tea must be respected. "

The ideal glass must combine several qualities. Already the aesthetics, the visual aspect of the glass conditions the tasting. Then, the balance in hand for comfort. Then the width of the glass on the surface of Mint Tea which defines the exchange surface between Mint Tea and air. It is also necessary to count on the width at the top of the chalice which conditions the intensity and the precision, and the most important since it is about Mint tea and not about perfume: the general shape which conditions the flow in the mouth, without forgetting for the Mint tea the surface quality of the glass which conditions the creamy crown of foam.

If by any chance a Mint Tea Master invites you to its manufacturing workshops, and we gladly do so at Maison NANA1807, you will see flutes, goblets, mazagrans, Beldi glass from Morocco, the magnificent goblets of the Cristallerie Saint Louis and the famous Blida glass .

Just like Mazagran, the name, Blida comes from a town in Algeria. With the same name as the city of Blida ( in Arabic البليدة and in Tamazight ⵍⴻⴱⵍⵉⴷⴰ), nicknamed “ The City of Roses ”. Located a few tens of kilometers from the capital, Blida was founded in the xvi ^th century to welcome immigrants from Andalusia.

These glasses are made in France by the company Verreries Mécaniques Champenoises, based in Reims, most of the production was then shipped to Blida in Algeria . For practical and economic reasons, the Verre Blida was adopted by the winegrowers, smaller than the cups, less fragile, and easier to maintain .... The Glassworks are now closed but the practice continues in champagne cellars ....

In Reims and throughout the Champagne-Ardennes region, the Verre Blida is the companion for weddings, baptisms and inaugurations ... This small glass, traditional in receptions, is still the hallmark of Champagne.

On the occasion of the first ceremony of MAISON NANA1807's Mint Tea , in Reims, we had the pleasure of serving Mint Tea in the famous Blida Glass ... And we adopted it in the collection of our Mint Tea sets. You will be able to order it very soon, and receive it personalized with your name or with your company logo.
