Darjeeling First Flush

T1013181 - 54 € / 100g

../images/T2/T1013181.jpg

Set aside

- Issued from a garden in biodynamic conversion -

North Tukvar or « Flame of fire » is one of the most famous gardens of Darjeeling from where one can admire snow-covered Kanchenjunga – the third highest mountain in the world. Throughout the years, the plantation has become a model for sustainable living by producing its own natural compost and installing a gravity-based irrigation system. The surrounding bamboo forests preserve the stability of this rich terroir full of exceptional century-old tea plants.

Dried leaves: Magnificent downy buds with their handsome reseda green leaves reveal notes of buttery shortbread and coconut.

Infused leaves: Once infused, the supple leaves offer fragrances of pomegranate syrup and roasted chestnut.

Liquor: Golden amber. The smooth liquor’s aroma, reminiscent of pistachio milk, is a pure joy. In the cup, a perfumed wave of orange blossom and Damascus rose dance with delicious notes of Reine-Claude plum jam.

A First Flush Sovereign.

../images/T2/T104186.jpg

Set aside

Starting in 1852, just two years before the creation of Mariage Frères, the garden of Puttabong or «Land of the Green Leaves» planted its first tea bushes. Innovation and quality best represent the values of this pioneering tea estate which works hard to conserve its Terroir by practicing agriculture in harmony with nature. The purity of its harvests is matched only by the supreme pleasure of its taste.

Dried leaves: The pastel buds in jade and ivory deliver a sweet note of macaron followed by zesty hints of kumquat and incense.

Infused leaves: Pearly, emerald green. An opulent aroma of gardenia blends with a pleasant note of roasted pistachio.

Liquor: Glittering vermillion robe. The seductive roundness of rich dragées precedes a verdant, resinous fragrance accentuated with dashing white flowers. A voluptuous finale of candied rose dances with an ardent note of vanilla.

The essence of paradise.

Set aside

The garden of Singbulli (meaning « Refuge of the Lions ») spreads out to the west of Darjeeling in the heart of the fertile valley of Mirik. The most beautiful parcels selected for and by Mariage Frères extend up to the summits (almost 1,700 meters in altitude), amongst the picturesque monasteries and pure, crystal-clear lakes. Thanks to its hundred year old tea plants, this prestigious appellation bears exquisite harvests. An iconic must-have in the confidential world of premium teas.

Dried leaves: The young, emerald-coloured leaves and the pearly buds deliver notes of starfuit and cashew.

Infused leaves:	Imperial green. Hints of fragrant ivy mix with those of succulent damson plum bursting with aroma.

Liquor: Pale gold. The liquor, mellow and enveloping, unleashes amazingly fruity notes of muscatel grape and juicy peach. Variations of almond and vanilla blend with a woody-floral score evoking dashing camelia blossom.

Mariage Frères invites you on a sensory journey to Southern Africa.

Tucked away at 1,150m in altitude lies a family plantation known for the quality of its teas for the past three generations.

Southern Africa is a territory with nearly infinite natural resources and a climate structured by the rainy season between November and March. Local tea bushes have adapted to this unique Terroir and produce artisanal harvests rich in flavour. The young, freshly hand-picked leaves are quickly sent to the atelier to be crafted into this particular tea which is then delicately smoked with the leaves of guava trees that grow on the plantation.

To enjoy throughout the day, hot or cold.

Dried leaves : The long, obsidian black leaves release unique notes of smoked ebony accentuated by strong, malted aromas.

Infused leaves : The colour of marron glacé, heart notes of tonka bean blend with hints of pink peppercorn.

Liquor : Lucid caramel brown. The smooth, smoky sweetness of the liquor caresses the palate with notes of woody nougat scored with a glaze of creamy date.
	
Round and flavourful for the afficionados.

Our adventurer’s spirit has taken us far off the beaten track to bring back this unique and surprising tea from a new continent: New Zealand inscribes its unexpected name in our tea catalogue.

Irrigated by the largest river on the island, the Waikato (in Maori « flowing water ») is known for its large biodiversity. In the north of the territory, a small garden dedicates itself to the confection of this cru exclusively for Mariage Frères.

Dried leaves : The buds are harvested manually then delicately crafted so as to give a deep, matte ebony finish. The nose resonates with subtle, woody overtones. An elegantly floral aroma evokes the narcissus that grows along the volcanic foothills of the aptly named « Smoking Island ».

Infused leaves : Dazzling shades of tan & amber. A fruity heart note gracefully defined by blackcurrant and plum leads into a soaring aroma of antique rose while in the background notes of cashew and autumn truffle linger about.

Liquor : Crystalline amber, fruity and supple like a quince poached in strawberry tree berry syrup, with an infinite persistence as invigorating as licorice candy.

Black is très Beautiful!

Set aside

This garden is situated at the summit of the Blue Mountain near Darjeeling Town, one of the historic stations of the famous « Toy Train » inaugurated in the 19th century. From these lands grow exclusive and unique crus, counted among the best in the world, in the heart of the Himalayas amidst the lush forests of rare, precious trees. On preserved land and surrounded by orange groves, these century-old tea plants deliver the magical harvests sought after by afficionados of prestigious First Flush Darjeeling teas.

Dried leaves: The whole leaves, thin and twisted, form a handsome mosaic of rich, verdant hues.

Infused leaves: A dapper palette of gourmet fragrances slowly reveals itself. A delicious scent of apricot jam sprinkled with violet petals precedes a tender aroma of fresh raspberry.

Liquor: The gold-coloured cup is haloed with pink reflections and expresses a delicious aroma of baked golden apple. The liquor’s soft and balanced texture floods the palate with a mysterious fragrance of wild orchid, punctuated by a gourmet note of white dragée.

Cold brew : 
1 - place 10g of tea in 1 liter of spring water; keep in the fridge for about 12 hours. 
2 - filter out the leaves then let the liqueur come to room temperature.
3 - best served in a large balloon glass, filled up to a third.

"Cold brew", a slow infusion in cold water, results in a further exploration of the infinite aromatic palette of this grand cru. The 
cold allows new fragrances to express themselves in a dazzling and totally intoxicating way.

This garden, one of the oldest in Darjeeling, was created the same year as Mariage Frères in 1854. The tea plants, lovingly pampered for over 160 years, still produce one of the best crus of Darjeeling. With its 176 hectares at 2,100m in altitude, where the slopes of the Himalayas wind their way between India, Nepal and Bhutan, this is the closest garden to Darjeeling Town.

Dried leaves: Whole, rolled and twisted young leaves undulate in elegance under a spring tint of green malachite and golden teak wood.

Infused leaves: Sweet notes of fresh apricot and green plum dance majestically with an airy note of sandalwood.

Liquor: Clear and brilliant, in a cheerful and luminous golden tone, the cup overflows with a fruity bouquet of nashi pear and banana blossom. A long and persistent note of green almond takes hold of the liquor, bringing it liveliness and freshness.
The taste of a happy spring.

Cold brew:		
1 - place 15g of tea in 1 litre of spring water; keep in the fridge for about 12 hours. 
2 - filter out the leaves then let the liqueur come to room temperature.
3 - best served in a large balloon glass, filled up to a third.

This rare tea comes from the region of Guria, at the foot of Mount Bakhmaro, not far from the Black Sea. This long forgotten garden is surrounded by a forest of centenary acacia trees which nourishes and protects the land. The harvest is realised once a year, in May, and produces only a few kilos of meticulously selected leaves. Delicately oxidized before leaving the atelier, Mariage Frères is proud to present this hidden treasure.

Dried leaves: The leaves are astoundingly beautiful: downy matte ebony, they unleash a perfume of agarwood, fresh liquorice, energizing cardamom and smooth cocoa truffle.

Infused leaves: Precious obsidian. A fragrance of storm swept volcanic rock blends with a gourmet note of fresh date and an intense hint of camelia.

Liquor: Coppery gold. A magnificent score of iris and black cherry structure the tasting while a note of brown sugar and myrtle berry merge perfectly together. The finale is sinfully delicious, evoking an intense mousse au chocolat noir with zesty tonka bean.

The nirvana of black tea.

Garden in the process of becoming organic

The confidential garden of Pandam, not far from Darjeeling Town, rises to 1,790m in altitude where the magnificent hundred-year-old tea bushes flood the panorama with a thousand shades of green. Mariage Frères has contributed to the revival of this garden where each year the planter has turned more and more toward a method of biodynamic agriculture, in harmony with nature and men. Today, this fabulous tea rightly earns its noble title thanks to this extraordinary harvest.

The buds and young leaves evoke powdery green porcelain, speckled with silver tips. A delicious note of safflower is scored with a hint of orange blossom biscuit.

A luminous aroma of green almond blends with a sweet floral scent of Muscatel and fern.

The amber liquor drapes the palate with an airy, persistent fragrance evoking the sweetness of custard apple married to the freshness of white magnolia flower. Silky with a very pleasant texture, the liquor is sustained by a creamy richness recalling pecan enlivened with a dash of green orange.

Très chic!

« Tea from beyond the skies » 
The parcels of tea in the Namring garden, created in 1855 by the British, belong to Jhinglam and Poomong at 1,220 and 1,370 meters in altitude. The remarkable character of the Namring Terroir as well as the combination of the planter's admirable work coupled with Mariage Frères' unique savoir-faire give birth to this splendid tea with myriad aromatic nuances.

This Darjeeling Nouveau, an exclusive Mariage Frères creation, has been released early, fast-tracked from the estate to the cup.

Dried leaves: Sublime composition of whole leaves hand-crafted into fine twists. Their green tourmaline hue contrasts elegantly with the pearly white shimmer of the numerous buds.

Infused leaves: A forthright and gourmet aroma of green fig jam escapes from the depths of the infused leaves. The fruity score is prolonged with succulent notes of candied mango and fresh watermelon.

Liquor: The crystalline liquor colours the cup a soft yellow of clivia flowers, its edge haloed by a few jade green reflections. A voluptuous and sensual fragrance blends scents of linden honey with a dash of vanilla. The soft and balanced structure reveals the lively and sparkling fruitiness of pink grapefruit. The pride of a grand domain.

Tea from beyond the skies: an extraordinary Darjeeling Nouveau.

Cold brew :
1 - place 10g of tea in 1 liter of spring water; keep in the fridge for about 12 hours,
2 - filter out the leaves then let the liqueur come to room temperature,
3 - best served in a large balloon glass, filled up to a third.

Infused leaves : The magic of the infusion unveils the brilliant imperial green hue of the leaves. A sensual, flowery aura recalling genepi and violet hypnotise the taster before turning to an elegant wisp of almond milk.

Liquor : Flowing silk embroidered with gold. The liquor mesmerises with remarkably rich sensations and voluptuous perfumes of precious incense and rare vanilla. An irresistible aromatic impression of camellia honey blends with the unexpected vivacity of red fruit and sugar-apple.

The garden of Singbulli (meaning « The Refuge of the Lion ») spreads out to the west of Darjeeling, in the heart of the fertile valley of Mirik. The most handsome parcels of land selected for and by Mariage Frères reach all the way to the summits (approaching 1,700 meters in altitude), amongst the pure lakes and picturesque monasteries. This prestigious appellation distinguishes itself by its majority of centenary tea plants giving flavourful harvests. A quintessential must-have in the confidential world of premium teas.

Dried Leaves: A composition of green saphire is woven in buds and newly sprouted leaves while a bouquet of juicy cranberry and chocolate macaron flows with refined opulence.

Infused Leaves: The flattering leaves are an ode to spring and the rebirth of nature, exhaling aromas of rose and blood peach.

Liquor: The golden robe of the liquor develops a fruity sensation of stewed pomegranate blended with sweet red currant. The last sips offer a nectar whose notes of vanilla and airy green cardamom and tonka bean linger long on the palate.

A new sovereign of the senses.
