Mintéalogie® Institute Educational Program

Understanding, Transmitting, and Elevating the Culture of Mint Tea

The Mintéalogie® program constitutes the educational structure developed by the Mintéalogie® Institute of Maison NANA1807 to transmit the culture of mint tea through a progressive, cultural, and sensory approach.

This program allows participants to discover, understand, and deepen their knowledge of the science and art of mint tea through various learning stages, ranging from cultural initiation to an in-depth understanding of the discipline.

Inspired by major cultural disciplines such as oenology for wine or the tea arts in Asia, this program aims to structure Mintéalogie® as a field of study, enabling the preservation and transmission of a living cultural heritage.

The Vision of the Mintéalogie® Program

The Mintéalogie® program is based on the idea that the culture of mint tea deserves to be studied, transmitted, and valued as a cultural discipline in its own right.

Through this program, the Mintéalogie Institute aims to contribute to a better understanding of mint tea not only as a traditional beverage but as a culture, a social language, and a sensory experience.

This approach allows us to place mint tea in its historical, botanical, and cultural context to reveal its full richness.

Structure of the Mintéalogie® Program

The Mintéalogie® program is structured around several levels, allowing for a progressive and comprehensive understanding of the discipline.

Each level corresponds to a learning stage and allows for the development of specific knowledge.

The Mintéalogie® Educational Progression

Level 1 – Mintéalogie® Initiation

Initiation constitutes the first step of the educational program and allows participants to discover the essential basics of Mintéalogie®.

Mintéalogie® Initiation aims to introduce participants to the cultural, historical, and sensory dimensions of mint tea.

This stage lays the necessary foundations for a deeper understanding of the discipline.

Level 2 – Mintéalogie® Experiences

Mintéalogie experiences allow for deeper discovery through practice and cultural immersion.

They help develop sensitivity to aromas and taste balances.

This stage transforms theoretical knowledge into lived experience.

Level 3 – Mintéalogie® Advanced Workshops

After the initiation and initial experiences, the advanced workshops allow for a more precise understanding of the technical, cultural, and sensory dimensions of mint tea.

These workshops constitute an important step in the Mintéalogie® program because they allow participants to go beyond discovery and gain a more conscious understanding of the gestures, balances, and traditions.

At this level, participants develop a more attentive approach to the details that make up the mint tea experience: water quality, leaf selection, balance of flavors, temperature, serving rhythm, and aesthetic of the gesture.

This stage often marks a shift in perspective: mint tea is no longer just tasted, it is understood.

Level 4 – Mintéalogie® for Businesses and Organizations

Mintéalogie® also finds its place in the professional world as a tool for cultural transmission and the development of human relations.

Mintéalogie programs for businesses allow participants to discover how the culture of mint tea can become a medium for dialogue, cohesion, and the development of a hospitality culture.

Through these experiences, tea becomes an educational tool for reflecting on notions of welcome, attention to others, and the quality of the experience.

This approach is in line with the new expectations of organizations seeking to develop human and cultural experiences within their teams.

Level 5 – Mintéalogie® Expertise Program

The Mintéalogie® expertise level corresponds to a comprehensive understanding of the discipline and an ability to transmit the cultural and sensory foundations of mint tea.

This level does not solely correspond to an accumulation of knowledge, but to a deep understanding of the spirit of mint tea and its cultural dimension.

It is a journey that combines experience, observation, transmission, and regular practice.

Expertise in Mintéalogie® is thus based on a global approach combining culture, sensoriality, and humanity.

Why follow the Mintéalogie® program

Mintéalogie® Program Certifications

In its desire to structure Mintéalogie® as a cultural discipline, the Mintéalogie Institute is progressively developing educational recognitions to highlight learning pathways.

They are part of a logic of transmission and symbolic recognition of acquired knowledge.

Mintéalogie® is not limited to technical learning: it is also an invitation to develop a sensitivity to the culture of mint tea.

Through this journey, the Mintéalogie Institute seeks to transmit not only knowledge, but also cultural sensitivity and an understanding of the human values associated with mint tea.

Mintéalogie® thus considers mint tea as a synthesis between nature, culture, and hospitality.

Mintéalogie® as a Cultural Discipline

Mintéalogie® positions itself as an emerging discipline that structures the study of mint tea.

It relies on several complementary areas:

• History of tea

• Art of gesture
• Cultural anthropology

This multidisciplinary approach allows mint tea to be given the place it deserves in the heritage of world cultures.
