{"product_id":"the-la-menthe-1014661","title":"Mint tea","description":"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.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cbr \/\u003e\nAs 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.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cbr \/\u003e\nServed 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.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cbr \/\u003e\nMint 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.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cbr \/\u003e\nTraditional recipe for mint iced tea\u003cbr \/\u003e\nBrew 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.
