Mint tea

A symbol of hospitality and conviviality, green tea with mint is a deeply rooted tradition in North Africa, where tea culture plays a central role in daily life. Prepared according to a precise ritual, it can be enjoyed with friends as well as with lively meals, adding a touch of freshness and balance.

As tradition dictates, this tea is made with Gunpowder - a Chinese green tea from Zhejiang, whose leaves are rolled into small pearls to preserve all their intensity. When they come into contact with boiling water, they unfurl slowly, releasing a powerful infusion with vegetal, slightly full-bodied notes. Combined with Nanah mint leaf (Mentha spicata), it reveals a dazzling freshness, softened by a natural hint of sweetness.

Served piping hot in small glasses, sometimes sweetened according to custom, this tea is a must at the end of a meal. It balances the flavours of a spicy lunch and prolongs the pleasure of sharing a good moment. More than a simple refreshment, it's a habit, a simple and sincere gesture that spans generations.

Mint tea goes well with light pastries, fresh fruit or biscuits. It also goes well with sweet treats, perfect for a friendly, refreshing break. It also goes well with Fauchon ‘F biscuits’ or delicate praline chocolate bites, offering a perfect marriage between the sweetness of the pastry and the freshness of the tea. A true Fauchon ritual, where every moment becomes a moment of exception.

Traditional recipe for mint iced tea
Brew 4-5 green mint tea bags (or 8-10g loose tea) in 1 litre of hot water, add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and leave to cool. Add crushed fresh mint leaves and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Serve this delicious drink chilled with crushed ice and lemon slices, if desired.

It can also be enjoyed during breaks or on any occasion to relax and refresh, whether iced in summer or hot in winter. A real wellness drink, tea can be enjoyed in any situation, adding a touch of freshness at any time.

What are the benefits of mint tea?
Apart from its refreshing taste, mint tea is renowned for its beneficial properties. It is particularly appreciated for its ability to promote smooth, harmonious digestion, making you feel lighter after a hearty meal. Combined with the antioxidant properties of green tea, it also helps to maintain the skin's vitality and radiance. More than just a drink, it offers a real moment of relaxation at any time of day, reducing stress and promoting a feeling of well-being. A gentle ritual, to be savoured for its benefits as much as for its taste.

The origins of mint tea
Green mint tea, a Moroccan symbol

Mint tea has a rich history dating back to the 18th century, when it was introduced to Morocco by European and Chinese traders. Initially, green tea, mainly Gunpowder, was reserved for the elite. Over time, it was combined with Nanah mint, a local herb, to create a unique drink. This fusion of Chinese and Arab influences gave rise to a ritual that is deeply rooted in Moroccan culture. Mint tea has become a symbol of hospitality, served during visits and meals to strengthen social ties and offer a moment of conviviality.
