Enjoying an exceptional terroir, the planter passionately refines his methods so as to perpetually improve the quality of these harvests. The tea bushes planted at the beginning of the golden age of tea are the subject of special attention in order to bring out their aromatic quintessence which makes for the remarkable identity of this excellent garden. An ode to the senses and to pleasure.

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.

Set aside

The celebrated garden of Namring was created in 1855 by the British. Cultivated at 1,525 meters in altitude, this cru is harvested from the oldest parcel of land known as Poomong, absolutely magnificent and prestigious. A pruning in autumn, ample sunlight and pure water from the Himalayas provokes an early formation of buds and hence the crafting of this grand millesime. The remarkable character of Namring’s terroir and the admirable work of the planters associated with the unique savoir-faire of Mariage Frères give rise to a rich splendor of lunar velvety shades.
Dried leaves :	Downy buds and the young imperial-green leaves give off fruity tones of Bengal quince and fresh pistachio.
Infused leaves :	Tender frosted green. The supple leaves exhale a rich fragrance of passion fruit and green papaya.
Liquor :	 Pearly gold. The liquor expresses notes of golden hazelnut married to delicious candied starfruit, accented with a gourmet dash of pineapple.
Enchanting and delicate.

Set aside

Donyi Polo (literally « Sun » and « Moon ») is a garden situated in the foothills of the Himalayas, in the heart of Arunachal Pradesh at the borders of China, Myanmar and Bhutan. Mariage Frères offers this brand new discovery from its latest voyage: a magical and rare white tea, issued from tea plants cultivated in harmony with nature. Just a stone’s throw from the garden flows the river Siang, its pure mountain water originating in Tibet, nourishing this fertile valley and imparting the perfect conditions for tea plants. Welcome to the new world!

Dried leaves: The young amber leaves and golden buds develop a bouquet of toasted pistachio and freshly ground tonka bean.

Infused leaves: A delicate chocolatey aroma dances with hints of violet marsh mallow and pink peppercorn.

Liquor: Deep, amber rose madder. The liquor submerges the palate in round and enveloping notes like brown caramel while a woody-vanilla tone emerges blending together iris and black licorice. Gourmet and sensual, the cup is moved by aromas of buckwheat honey with nuances of blackcurrant glaze and the subtle airiness of flavourful coconut. The finale is scored with a dash of persistent, powdery rose.
 The beauty of nature.

Set aside

This plantation the oldest one in Darjeeling and was created the very same year as Mariage Frères : in 1854. It is also the most eminent one (111 hectares at a height of 1 890 m), where the slopes of Himalaya  meander between India, Nepal and Bhutan).

Usually lost in clouds and mist, this garden was as briefly as miracously bathed by the sun, uncovering Mount Kanchenjunga, the third highest moutnain in the world, just when Mariage Frères’  tea taster  chose the batch that had been offered this summer : a blessing from the gods ?

Leaves : classic, large and long, twisted, deep brown with a nice quantity of silver buds, they are regularly rolled

Nose : deep fragrance, lightly spiced

Liquor : amber gold, the fruity attack is complex : ripe grape with sweet jackfruit develops to full round wood and arachid (roasted cashew nuts and hazelnuts) notes. The finish unveils a zesteful edge.

A must-be-discovered for its harmony and long finish.

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 organic 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.

Issued from Jhinglam and Poomong, two extraordinary divisions of the Namring garden created in 1855 by the British, these parcels of land are found between 1,220 and 1,370 metres in altitude.

Luscious and heavenly!

Set aside

Perched  1,000m in altitude, the garden of Glenburn naturally finds its place in our collection of unique Darjeeling black tea Grand Crus. This exceptional harvest, the fruit of meticulous labour, is issued from a reserved parcel of land cultivated with a grand savoir-faire. Since 1859, the mists clinging to the Himalayan foothills bathe the centenary tea plants that elegantly dot the staggered landscape of this family plantation. Only a few kilos of rare, fine buds and tender leaves are plucked.

Dried leaves: The sublime, slender leaves emit sophisticated fragrances of orchid, chocolate and elegant, resinous cedar.

Infused leaves: Beyond the shades of mahogany and imperial green, a note of Indian plum mingles with malty, biscuity aromas.

Liquor: Bright, shimmering amber. Fragrant in the cup, the creamy notes of macadamia nut are simply delectable. The voluptuous infusion resonates with floral notes of rose enlivened by a zesty, elegant aroma of candied bitter orange. An exotic array of imperial spices recalling honey and vanilla create a lingering, full-bodied finale. 
 
An exclusive must-have.

Set aside

This plantation, one of the oldest in Darjeeling, was founded in 1854 just like Mariage Frères. With its 176 hectares at 2,100m in altitude, where the slopes of the Himalayas wind through India, Nepal and Bhutan, this is the closest garden to the old town. Tea plants that have been lovingly cherished for over 160 years still produce one of the best crus in the region.

Dried leaves: The handsome buds and flamboyant young leaves in matte ebony deliver a gourmet fragrance evoking scones accompanied by delicious carob marmalade.

Infused leaves: The colour of Indian summer, the blooming leaves vibrate with tones of maple syrup and a voluptuous hint of precious incense.

Liquor: Dusky amber. The suave, fragrant exuberance of fresh walnut, hazelnut and almond blends wonderfully with the tangy richness of blackcurrant. The tasting continues with an elegant bright inflection of pomegranate honey and a final note of pineapple infused with hibiscus flower. 
 
Happiness is in the cup.

Set aside

Provenance : Szechuan – a province in central-west China – abounds with a thousand and one private gardens irrigated by pure flowing rivers, tributaries of the famous Yangtze Kiang. Mariage Frères has proudly brought back from this remote, mountainous region a pure jewel issued from a plantation bathed in thick fog and nestled among the highest summits of China.

Dried leaves : A manual harvest allows for a more rigourous selection of the youngest leaves which take on a silver-obsidian tint and are scattered amongst tender orange buds the colour of twilight. Together, hints of gourmet stewed prune and a lively note of fresh rose wet with morning dew create an aromatic harmony.

Infused leaves : The elegance is also reflected in a refined fragrance of pure cocoa woven with a sparkling impression of pink peppercorn before a finale of green vanilla.

Liquor : Ruby red. Its graceful and full body, exhaling notes of ylang-ylang honey, is joined by a seductive wave of praline and neroli.

A heavenly jewel.

PUTTABONG

Set aside

Starting in 1852, just two years before the creation of Mariage Frères, the garden of Puttabong known as the « Land of Green Leaves » planted its first tea bushes. Innovation and quality illustrate the values held dear by this pioneering plantation, working for the preservation of their Terroir by applying agricultural techniques in harmony with nature. The purity of the harvests are equalled only by the supreme pleasure in their tasting.

Dried leaves: The golden buds depict a fresco of mahogany nuances, with rich aromatic tones of black sesame and delightfully gourmet macaron.

Infused leaves: Velvety amber. The leaves emit delicious fragrances of candied Damask rose petals inflected with roasted hazelnut.

Liquor: Supple and graceful, the liquor releases delicious waves of cocoa, tempered by a lingering, all-encompassing texture. Notes of honey-roasted banana and ripened pear score the liveliness of an infusion recalling a scent of hibiscus flower while the finale rests on a sweet, playful hint of crème de marron.

Addictively gourmet.

Dried leaves: The young leaves and buds tinted amber deliver a perfume of carob bean with a heart note of gianduja.

Infused leaves: Tan and luminous. The leaves permeate with a fragrance evoking honey.

Liquor: Glittering in unique Venitian red the liquor soothes with a pleasant sensation like cotton flower, liberating woody notes mixed with a slightly heady scent of amber incense. Gourmet memories of vanilla brioche, soft and exquisite, arise in the finale. 
 
A treasure from the Himalayas.

THÉ DES SINGES D'OR®

T217 - 30 € / 100g

../images/T2/T217.jpg

Set aside

Legend tells of a time when the Chinese used monkeys to harvest the leaves of wild tea plants growing in hard to reach places such as the peaks of cliffs or the steep slopes of mountains. Today “Monkey tea” signifies a higher quality harvest, composed of only buds and the first leaves delicately plucked by hand. “Golden Monkey King” typically originates from Yunnan, but this Thé des Singes d’Or, a rare and highly sought-after cru, comes from a very old garden in the Chinese province of Fujian brought back to life by Mariage Frères.

Leaves : the most majestic buds, still downy with a handsome gold sheen blend with “flowery orange pekoes” whole, unbroken and the colour of cocoa beans

Nose : a first hint of sweet tamarind, joined by bursts of rosewood and notes of lychee jam.

Infusion : an auburn tint with stunning clarity; the liquor opens on an amazingly velvety texture with gourmet notes of spring honey, hazelnut, and then stewed chestnut before giving way to a tender finale of cooked plum and longan.

A beautifully mellow cup, rich and generous, that lingers on the palate: absolute fashion par excellence.
