✕Common Mistakes
Tenemos una selección de té.
Using the singular ‘té’ changes the meaning to ‘a selection of tea’ (as a single drink) instead of multiple types.
Tenemos el selección de tés.
The article must agree with ‘selección’, which is feminine, so ‘una’ is correct, not the masculine ‘el’.
Tenemos una selección de tes.
The accent on the ‘e’ is required to keep the stress on the last syllable; without it the word would be pronounced incorrectly.

Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries coffee dominates café menus, but tea culture is growing, especially in urban areas and tourist spots. When you say ‘tés’, you’re usually referring to black, green, herbal, or fruit‑infused teas, not the traditional South American ‘mate’, which is a different beverage.
