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", 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.

Ambootia, or « Land of the mango trees », is one of the most famous gardens of Darjeeling in the foothills of the Himalayas. 
For over twenty years, this majestic plantation has been cultivated in complete harmony with this exceptional Terroir according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture, methods which have contributed to the fame of this prestigious appellation.

Dried leaves: The fine, silvery buds mingle with handsome, luminous emerald green leaves and those with more mysterious shades of rosewood.

Infused leaves: A gourmet scent of black cherry precedes sweet, fresh tones of honeydew melon and cardamom flower.

Liquor: Sparkling gold, the liqueur exhales a silky fragrance of apricot and white peach. Its round texture finds balance with the lively, sweet notes of young Muscatel grape.

Cold brew:
1 - place 15g 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.

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.

«The land of the saints »

Founded by the British around the middle of the 19th century, this garden is one of the oldest and most prestigious in Darjeeling. For religious peoples, this place has long been a gathering spot for those seeking the peace and tranquility necessary for meditation: thus it was named “the land of the saints”. 
Surrounded by a rich flora of fruit and rare spice trees, not far from Darjeeling Town and facing the snow-capped peak of Kanchenjunga, the garden of Risheehat enjoys special care from the planter who respects and cherishes his land as a precious treasure.

Dried leaves: The whole leaves are preserved by an elegant shaping, giving them a magnificent, draped look. Their colours evoke the many green nuances of jade.

Infused leaves: They offer a richly fruity bouquet with major accords of white currant, papaya and green guava.

Liquor: Sunny, like the colour of daffodils, the enchanting liqueur exhales a gourmet nose of calisson. Lively and silky at the same time, it releases beautifully floral bursts of mock-orange and elderberry blending with the sweetness of orange blossom honey.
Spring has sprung.

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.

Nestled in the vicinity of Kurseong, the « City of the White Orchid », Castleton has been one of Darjeeling’s most famous gardens since 1885. 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.

Liquor: The liquor, golden like spring honey, reveals a captivating floral bouquet with a sparkling and gourmet nose of candied citrus peel. Lively, silky and perfectly balanced, this cup of Castleton floods the palate with beautiful umami notes recalling delicate white lily nectar. A prayer to flowery spring.

« 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.

Dried leaves: The most beautiful leaves in the garden are meticulously selected then artfully and elegantly hand-rolled. The planter offers a glimpse of his immense skill with this harvest, in the warm nuances of ebony and red cedar.

Infused leaves: Lively and sparkling touches of cranberry and grapefruit peel paint a fruity picture, enhanced by the sweetness of roasted mango.

Liquor: Shimmering with a thousand shades of orange, the cup presents a supple and enveloping liquor. A great complexity is revealed, mixing flowery rosewood with fruity baked pear. A spicy note of cinnamon blossom brings a sublime final touch to this masterpiece.

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: Sumptuous whole leaves and tender buds with undulating forms whose jade hues are punctuated with a touch of platinum.

Infused leaves: Their absolutely divine scent blends the sensuality of rosebud with the fruitiness of melon syrup. A few sparkling notes of Victoria pineapple coalesce at the end.

Liquor: As golden as a bouquet of mimosa, the sparkling liqueur twinkles with the precious down of silvery buds. Like caressing the palate, one can intensely perceive all the freshness of spring, between mock orange honey, green fig jam and crunchy mirabelle plum. A gem of Darjeeling.

Tea from beyond the skies: an extraordinary Darjeeling Nouveau.

Starting in 1852, just two years before the creation of Mariage Frères, the garden of Puttabong (meaning « Home of Green Leaves ») seeded their first tea plants.

The spring symphony has its new opus.

Cold brew: 
1 - place 10g of tea in 1 liter of spring water; keep in the fridge for about 12 hours.

Le jardin de Singbulli (qui signifie « Refuge des Lions ») s’étend à l’ouest de Darjeeling, au cœur de la vallée fertile de Mirik.

Feuilles sèches : Les bourgeons et feuilles nourris de la première sève montante de printemps se parent de jade incrusté de reflets d’ambre clair.

Feuilles infusées : Un agréable bouquet aux notes fruitées évoque une pêche mûrie au soleil nappé d’un confit de figue blanche.

Liqueur : La robe dorée s’illumine de reflets orangés. La gourmandise d’un financier aux amandes vertes se marie à une note rassurante de muscat. Un goût éclatant de groseilles blanches inonde le palais de son empreinte joyeuse.

Founded in 1892, this historic garden on the plains of Assam, located on the border with Bangladesh, takes its name from the local fruit 'bhubri' which grows in abundance in the nearby forests and which boats come to load on the 'ghat' of the river. The plantation blends in with dense and lush vegetation, where tea is grown in perfect harmony with nature.

Dried leaves: The whole, slightly twisted leaves are rolled very precisely. In a play of light, their dark obsidian hue is illuminated with a few silvery reflections. The woody bouquet also recalls the scent of gingerbread.

Infused leaves: A gourmet note of roasted cocoa bean gives way to the liveliness of a citrus leaf, slightly crumpled. Notes of prune and candied fig come through once the heat has dissipated.

Liquor:Amber with hints of blood orange red, the taste evokes cocoa butter infused with spices. Malted and woody tannins bloom in a delightful note of hazelnut praline.

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!

Irrigated by the pure mountain waters and shrouded in tropical forests, this organic garden’s ancient tea plants extend to the heart of Yunnan, fertile province in southwest China. The harvest takes place in the thick, downy mists of the highlands. The meticulous work in the planter’s familial home yields a delicious cru, pleasant enough to drink all day long.

Dried leaves : The sublime golden buds and their young ebony-coloured leaves exhale an enchanting aroma of acerola cherry and single-origin cacao.

Infused leaves : With a shade evoking marron glacé, the leaves deliver a melody of chypre accentuated with safflower and joined by a suave hint of beeswax.

Liquor : Luminous amber red. Malty and chocolatey aromas coalesce with the fragrance of precious incense. The liquor vibrates with a thousand nuances, alternating between fruity blueberry and the flowery coolness of rosebud and vanilla flowers.

A tea in shimmering equilibrium.

Set aside

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.
