A Sensory Journey from Berry to the Discovery of Mint Tea
On March 8, 2020, in the excitement of the emerging spring, Maison NANA1807 opened the doors of its Organic Mint Tea Factory in the heart of Berry . It was not simply an inauguration, but the fulfillment of a promise made to Mouima for more than 30 years: to perpetuate a heritage, to celebrate the soul of Organic Mint Tea and to forge links between cultures. This first event was a moment of grace, filled with emotion and hope, where each gesture told a story, each infusion carried within it a fragment of authenticity.
2020: Birth of Maison NANA1807 Workshops
It was in an intimate and warm atmosphere that we inaugurated our first manufacturing workshops. These workshops marked the beginning of our adventure, organizing Mint Tea ceremonies in private circles, both in France and Morocco, before the Covid-related confinement. Each ceremony was an exploration of the art of preparing Mint Tea , a way to celebrate this ancestral ritual, to transmit this knowledge and to maintain the links between cultures.
2021 | Tourism recognition
Driven by the enthusiasm of the first visitors, Maison NANA1807 has been added to the Berry Province tourist itinerary. Since then, a visit to the Maison NANA1807 Workshops has become an annual event, taking place between April and early October, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the bucolic landscape of Berry in the summer season. Curious and passionate travelers of all nationalities come through our doors, driven by the desire to discover a know-how that transcends time and borders.
2022 | International influence
The history of Maison NANA1807 is now being written well beyond the Berry region. We are invited to the culinary diplomacy meetings at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, a valuable recognition of our commitment to the preservation and transmission of Mint Tea traditions. Through aromas and stories, we proudly carry the values of hospitality and exchange that drive us.
2023 | Opening of the first Mint Tea Café NANA1807
Another dream comes true: our first Mint Tea Café NANA1807 opens in Bourges, opposite the majestic Saint-Étienne Cathedral , in the refined setting of a former private mansion. This place becomes a sanctuary for tasting, a space for transmission and a haven of peace where Mint Tea for Peace is celebrated in all its splendor. This opening is part of the desire to introduce the Gourmet Teas of Maison NANA1807 , a true taste journey, while sharing the authenticity of our Teas ORGANIC .
2024 | Academic recognition
History continues to be made on the benches of the University of Cambridge, where we are invited for our first international seminar on Mintealogy . Science and tradition meet in this temple of knowledge, marking a new milestone in our mission to transmit and promote Mint Tea .
2025 | An invitation to the heart of the land of Mint Tea
This year, Maison NANA1807 has the honor of being invited by the French Institute of Casablanca to introduce Mintealogy to Morocco, the cradle of Organic Mint Tea . This return to the roots, imbued with emotion and respect for this ancestral culture, is a new step in our mission of transmission and sharing.
Furthermore, our Mint Tea Café NANA1807 has set up shop in the charming town of Métiers d'Art, Mehun-sur-Yèvre , where it is part of a unique heritage setting, between artisanal traditions and culinary innovation, while highlighting quality organic teas to savor.
Today, as we blow out the candles of this fifth anniversary, we measure the path traveled with gratitude and wonder. More than an entrepreneurial adventure, Maison NANA1807 has become a true family , united by the love of Organic Mint Tea and the desire to share this passion with the world. From the warmth of the first infusions to the excitement of great encounters, each moment has been a stone laid on the edifice of this beautiful story.
Thank you to the growing community of Mint Tea Lovers in Berry, France, and around the world. You are the beating heart of this adventure, and together, we will continue to write the sequel... In shaa Allah (إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ) !
