Mint Tea Glass
Oct 26, 2020
Which Glass to Choose for Mint Tea?
At Maison NANA1807, the choice of tea glass is as crucial as the selection of mint leaves. In Moroccan tradition, the tea glass plays a central role in highlighting Mint Tea, influencing not only the visual perception but also the aromas and flavor of the beverage.
The Importance of the Glass in Mint Tea Tasting
The shape, size, and material of the glass directly impact the tasting experience. To illustrate this idea, imagine the same Mint Tea served in three different glasses during one of our tasting sessions at Maison NANA1807. You will quickly discover that the texture, aromas, and flavor can vary surprisingly.
According to our Mint Tea Master, the container must enrich the sensory experience of Mint Tea:
"The glass must not only be aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It must feel good in hand, offer an adequate exchange surface between the tea and the air, and allow for optimal Mint Tea tasting."
Kingdom of Morocco: Moroccan Excellence in the Service of Tea
Our Kingdom of Morocco collection highlights exceptional pieces that embody the harmonious marriage between Moroccan exacting standards and French crystal and glassware savoir-faire:

The Saint Louis Crystal Tumbler: Founded in 1586, Cristallerie Saint Louis is renowned for its unparalleled expertise. Each tumbler, cut with exceptional precision, embodies the height of elegance. These refined pieces elevate the Mint Tea tasting into a luxurious sensory experience, where every detail counts. The excellence of French crystal thus serves Moroccan tradition, creating a perfect symbiosis of art and tradition.
