The NANA1807 Method | Mint Tea
The NANA1807® Mint Tea Method
A sensory, living and evolving ceremony, between tradition, science and hospitality
A phytotherapeutic, sensory and cultural approach
The art of brewing a vibrant, generous, and deeply beneficial Mint Tea.
At Maison NANA1807 , Mint Tea is not just a drink. It is an act of hospitality, a ritual of listening to life, a celebration of the connection between human beings, nature and Moroccan tea traditions, enhanced by NANA1807 Organic Teas .
We have developed the NANA1807® Method for Mint Tea , in 4 sensory and lively stages, adapted to our emblematic teas such as MOUIMA®, COEURS DU MAROC®, GOOD HOPE®, GREEN CITY® or COEURS DU BERRY® .
1. The Initial Infusion: Awakening of the Plant and Emotions
Temperature: 90 to 95°C | Duration: 3 to 4 minutes | Freshly boiled water
The first infusion reveals the intelligence of the blend , releasing the essential oils of sweet mint, the primary aromas of green or black tea, and the top notes of the fruits, flowers or spices contained in our signature recipes.
It is a gentle but intense activation :
-
Mint releases its digestive compounds (menthol, carvone)
-
Tea releases its polyphenols, its natural caffeine, its plant freshness
-
Exotic fruits or petals open delicately, for an aromatic awakening
This first liqueur is intense, structured, tonic , and announces an evolving experience .
2. Multi-Infusion: Listening to the Plant Cycle
Infusions 2 to 5: 85 to 90°C | Duration: 1 to 3 minutes depending on the infusion
The NANA1807® Method promotes multi-infusion , the heart of our philosophy:
Each tea is a journey through time, and each infusion is a different step in the same story.
Why multi-infuse?
-
Secondary and tertiary aromas gradually appear
-
The mint becomes fresher, more tender
-
The tea gains in roundness and subtlety
-
Astringency decreases, sweetness develops
This allows you to adjust the power, prolong the pleasure, and extract all the plant memory contained in the leaf.
One service, many faces of the same tea.
3. The Tea-Mint Balance: A Living Accord
Each NANA1807 Mint Tea is a thoughtful blend of:
-
A single-origin tea (green, black, or rooibos), for structure and strength
-
An organic sweet mint (often from Morocco or Egypt), for freshness and elegance
-
Floral, fruity or spicy notes, for the soul of the blend
The NANA1807® Method adjusts according to the profile:
