T6920 - 66 € / 100g

../images/T2/T6920.jpg

Set aside

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.

Black is très Beautiful!

« Tea from beyond the sky »

The reknowned garden of Namring was created in 1855 by the British. Cultivated at 1,525 meters in altitude, this cru comes from the oldest parcel of land known as Poomong, absolutely magnificent and prestigious. A cutting in autumn, strong sunlight and pure, flowing water from the Himalayas have borne an early growth of buds and thus the creation of this grand 2018 vintage. The remarkable character of Namring’s terroir coupled with the admirable work of the planters guided by the unique savoir-faire of Mariage Frères impart a rich splendor of a thousand smooth and glittering nuances.

Dried leaves: The young leaves married to sublime silver buds evoke candied mangosteen and a sweet and fresh note of walnut.

Infused leaves: A handsome deep green, the leaves reveal a velvety union of white peony and wild orchid.

Liquor: Beautifully gilded, the round liquor opens with a captivating and fruity fragrance blended with lingering accents of green almond and calisson d’Aix.

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.

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.

Situated in the north of the Kurseong Valley a few miles from Darjeeling Town, Monteviot is a family garden founded in 1856 – just two years after the creation of Maison Mariage Frères. On this generous terroir nourishing centenary tea plants, the planter conducts the garden according to the virtuous rules of organic certification, producing elegant harvests that figure among the most highly prized of Darjeeling.

Dried leaves: A palette of deep browns and ebonies seduces at first glance. A malted note of cocoa makes the introduction to this cru, bursting with an evocative mineral hint of coconut.

Infused leaves: Remarkably, the illuminated leaves resemble the colour of marron glacé and resonate with fragrances of golden raisin and French red saffron.

Liquor: From the myrrh-like reflections emerge a fruity bouquet of persimmon and white almond, pleasant flavours resting long on the palette before being punctuated by an intense hint of suave black vanilla. The finale is a floral ode to a forest blooming with hyacinth - as beautiful, ephemeral and fragile as it is majestically fragrant. 
 
Summer whimsy.

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®

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.

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 »

A worldwide exclusive: Mariage Frères launches the 2017 Darjeeling Nouveau season with this fabulous grand cru.

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. A pruning in July, good sunlight and the masterful irrigation of hardy, century-old tea plants resistant to the cold temperatures allowed for an exceptionally early growth of buds and the confection of this grand cru. The admirable work of the planters, the unique savoir-faire of Mariage Frères and the remarkable character of the Namring terroir give rise to a rich splendour of lunar velvety shades.

Dried leaves : The voluptuous buds and young leaves, gently harvested at dawn, intertwine in a silvery folly of moonlit jade reflections from which flows a perfume of cedar and fresh bamboo with a slight hint of incense.

Infused leaves : Elegant, rippled green leaves deliver a warm powdered fragrance scored with flavourful variations of sugar apple and litchi, joined by a gourmet scent of precious vanilla.

Liquor : In a magnificent golden robe the liquor offers gourmet poetry, enhanced with a fresh note of green almond. Pleasing fragrances of muscatel grape and yuzu blend harmoniously. The infinite saveurs, ceaselessly renewed, bring fruity bouquets of pomegranate and white peach cup after cup. A long umami sensation underscores this exceptional infusion.

A tea from Heaven!

Dried leaves : The handsome young leaves and imperial green buds deliver a flowery bouquet of camellia coupled with roasted pistachio.

Infused leaves : Satiny emerald. A note of fern brightens the fragrant air of a blossoming guava tree.

Liquor : Buttercup yellow. After letting the liquor expand in the cup, a gourmet aroma of tamarind resonating with marron glacé dances with a note of dragée. The liquor then unleashes a pleasant hint of candied rose before culminating with persistent and fruity nuances of peach and white fig.

Addictively seductive.
