Ritual & Secrets of Mint Tea

Mint Food & Tea Pairing

Maison NANA1807 elevates the art of Mint Tea by combining it with culinary arts. These ancestral arts are part of a daily ritual, a moment of sharing and a symbol of hospitality. 

Pairing food and drinks is central to any great dining experience. A vast body of literature describes experiences and tips on pairing food and wine.

For various reasons, tea has never had as much exploration and exposure as in recent years.

Mint Tea being the favorite flavored tea in France, Maison NANA1807 invites great chefs to combine their talent with the authentic tastes of our Mint Teas.

To help them with this, the knowledge of food and wine pairings also applies to Mint Tea pairings . There are a few differences to consider, such as the added dimension of heat for Mint Tea , which can play an important role in the mouthfeel (think of the impact of heat on soft cheeses or chocolate on your palate).

The lack of acidity in Mint Tea is compensated by the tannins and astringency of some Mint Teas .

In the world of wine, pairing by origin (what grows in the terroir pairs perfectly) is a respected principle.

At Maison NANA1807, we adhere to this principle and seek out specific terroirs for the Mints that we blend with Grands Thés . In this way, the range of possibilities is almost unlimited...

Imagine that there are over 400 varieties of mint and several thousand different teas in the world. The world's cuisines offer you food and mint tea pairings beyond your imagination.

At Maison NANA1807, we believe the ideal scenario is to taste and determine these pairings for yourself!

So, Maison NANA1807 invites you to forget your past experiences with Mint Tea for this subtle exercise. Instead, observe the dominant or subtle aspects of the aromas and flavors of each of our Mint Teas .

Once you've identified these elements, they can be paired for compatibility, contrast, or balance with your current mood. The best pairings often work on multiple levels.
