This tea concept is inspired by nana (mint) tea, which is popular in Israel. Many cafés welcome you with a simple cup of hot water with fresh mint, and it is the epitome of comforting. I wanted to make a statement on the table, so as part of the decor I added a bundle of mixed fresh herbs, a cinnamon stick and a honey straw in each napkin ring, with a gray linen napkin as the backdrop. There was a steaming hot cup of water placed by each place setting so guests were able to create a fresh, warming tea concoction when they arrived.
