Companhia Portugueza do Chá Mint Nana Tea

Companhia Portugueza do Chá Mint Nana Tea is a Portuguese mint tea from Lisbon, created by Companhia Portugueza do Chá, the city's tea house on Rua do Poço dos Negros. A fresh, fragrant cup to enjoy after a meal or on a hot afternoon.

Tasting notes

Nana is the spearmint used for the famous mint tea of North Africa, sweeter and softer than peppermint. It gives a cool, clean, very aromatic cup. Serve it hot, lightly sweetened if you like, or iced in summer.

Food pairing

Lovely after grilled meat or fish, with almond pastries, dates, or the honey and almond sweets of the Algarve.

About Companhia Portugueza do Chá

Companhia Portugueza do Chá is a Lisbon tea house on Rua do Poço dos Negros, founded by tea sommelier Sebastian Filgueiros. Its blends tell the story of Portugal and tea: Portuguese ships brought tea from the East, and Catherine of Braganza made it fashionable at the English court after marrying Charles II in 1662. Her profile is on the company's logo.
