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.

Mint tea can be enjoyed at any time of day, but it is particularly appreciated after a meal, to aid digestion and provide a feeling of freshness. Traditionally, it is served at the end of a meal, particularly in Maghreb cultures, to soothe and prolong the moment of conviviality. It can also be enjoyed during breaks or on any occasion to relax and refresh, whether iced in summer or hot in winter. This tea, a true wellness drink, adapts to all situations, bringing a touch of freshness to every moment.

Mint tea, beyond its refreshing taste, is known for its beneficial properties. It is particularly appreciated for its ability to promote smooth and harmonious digestion, providing a feeling of lightness after a heavy meal. Combined with the antioxidant properties of green tea, it also helps maintain the skin's vitality and radiance. More than just a beverage, it offers a true moment of relaxation at any time of day, reducing stress and promoting a feeling of well-being. A gentle ritual, to be savored for its benefits as much as for its taste.
