GREEN TEA

Tea is a noble beverage. As with wine, “vintage” harvests are the pride of famous estates,
the mere names of which are highly esteemed by connoisseurs.

PEI HOU
Green tea - Jardin Premier*
China

T2202 - 38 € / 100g

../images/T2/T2202.jpg

Set aside

Cultivated at the top of Tian Mu Mountain, 1200 meters above sea level in the Long Gang region, this famous Pei Hou tea is characterised by its beautiful tender golden-green leaves, subtle aroma and mild flavour.
The picking is carefully done by hand and only once a year, in the spring. A harvester needs more than a day just to obtain one kilogram of this famous tea. The processing of the leaves is also entirely done by hand, according to ancestral traditions. Accessible only by foot, after more than 5 hours of climbing, the crates of tea must leave the garden on the same way, thus beginning their long journey. A majestic tea.

Dried leaves: The young shoots are shaped into long, unbroken needles, which sport a beautifully matte shade of celadon green punctuated with the silvery touches of the buds.

nfused leaves: The bouquet is bright, round and reassuring, blending the aromas of bamboo resin, raw peanut and medlar compote.

Liquor: As limpid and brilliant as green amethyst, the liqueur is like a bamboo forest in spring: full of freshness and life. It exudes the fruity sweetness of green nashi and the liveliness of candied rosehip. Supple and balanced with incredibly right texture, the liqueur plays its fruity score on the palate for a long time.

AMAMI CHA

T4225 - 48 € / 100g

../images/T2/T4225.jpg

Set aside

At the southern tip of Japan, not far from the famous island of Okinawa, the archipelago of the Amami Islands is an illustration of the surprising diversity and splendor of the land of the rising sun. Its tropical forests bordered by white sand beaches and crystalline, turquoise waters constitute a fertile soil perfect for cultivating tea. This lush environment combined with the savoir-faire of Japanese planters, recognized for making the best steamed green teas in the world, honors us with this new masterpiece.

Dried leaves: The fine, slender leaves are adorned with shades ranging from beautiful deep emerald to dense navy blue.

Infused leaves: They exhale a magnificent fruity bouquet where sparkling notes of passion fruit mingle with the sweetness of ripe soursop. A flowery wisp of chrysanthemum, beaded with dew, envelops the cooled leaves.

Liquor: The infusion reveals an unexpected hue – a mixture of jade green and the deep, mysterious blue of lapis lazuli. A delicate scent of raw cashew accompanies a round and silky liquor reminiscent of rice milk, caressing the palate with subtle notes of mandarin blossom and custard apple.

ORO VERDE®
Colombian Green Tea - Jardin Premier*

T535 - 20 € / 100g

../images/T2/T535.jpg

Set aside

The green gold of Colombia!
The young, luminous green leaves are blended with exotic fruits harvested just down the road from the plantation (pitaya, naranjilla, starfruit and passionfruit), for a delightfully fresh and sour beverage.
A delicious choice for either hot or iced tea.

This tea is a part of the Thés de Colombie collection, composed exclusively of teas, spices and fruits from Colombia. A Mariage Frères exclusive, these teas reflect the gourmet and dynamic culture of this country. As surprising as it is unique, this tea is cultivated in a place of indescribable beauty; straddling the vertiginous slopes of the Andean mountains in the heart of the cocoa plantations, the tea leaves develop incredibly subtle aromas, both intense and fruity. These teas are the result of a sustainable agriculture on exceptionally pure lands, nourished by crystal clear waters flowing down from the snowy summits.

* This tea is issued from a garden that has obtained organic certification in its Country or which uses methods associated with organic agriculture.
For legal reasons, this tea is not certified organic in France.

Legendary tea reputed to be « monkey-picked »

Mariage Frères presents the newest harvest of the rare and famous Taïping Houkui. This ultra-refined tea produced in small quantities is reputed to be harvested by monkeys on tall tea plants swaying in the dancing breeze of protective mists. Nourished by the pure waters trickling down from the snowy mountain peaks in the heart of lush vegetation, the young buds are plucked by hand then gently placed on bamboo racks to be carefully heated over warm embers. This unique savoir-faire imparts an exceptional taste to this « King of Green Teas » and reveals the bright and vibrant colours of the leaves.

Welcome to a halcyon world of excellence.

Dried leaves : A genius play of handcrafting protects the fragile, lunar-coloured buds and the bright emerald leaves. A light fragrance of poppy flower is unleashed, followed by an air of fresh hazelnut.

Infused leaves : Frosted emerald, the infused leaves express a fruity variant of candied white currant and pink grapefruit sprinkled with drops of bamboo water.

Liquor : In a lily-yellow robe shimmering gold, the liquor engulfs the palate with the delicacy of flowing silk. The cup is metered by the addictively fresh notes of liquorice, green guava and candied angelica. Joined to this rich complexity is an elegant perfume of camellia seed, crowning the ensemble with astonishing floral poetry.

Aesthete and manifold.

SENCHA KYOTO
Green tea - Japan
Jardin Premier*

T4278S - 37 €

../images/T2/T4278S.jpg

Set aside

This splendid « Shaded Tea », legacy of the land of the Rising Sun, is cultivated in the Kyoto region out of sunlight according to ancient Japanese methods. In these excellent terroirs, the shades hug the fertile and hilly landscape of one of the most beautiful regions of Japan. After having been protected from sunlight for one week, the rich, supple leaves with an extraordinary aroma of white flowers, from the Yabukita tea plant, are plucked by hand using precise ancestral maneuvers. The planter then performs a long and meticulous crafting so as to obtain this fabulously fine and lustrous tea whose rich umami flavour is synonymous with this Grand Cru.

Dried leaves: The sublime, sparkling emerald buds are steamed with pure water and deliver a bouquet evoking angelica and elderflower jelly.
Infused leaves: Luminous imperial green. The leaves unfurl with a sweet fragrance of fresh pine nut.
Liquor: Gold with jade intonations. Noble and precious, this Sencha Kyoto caresses the palate with a note of flowery white ganache, punctuated with a hint of stewed nashi pear.

Treasure of Kyoto.

T4233S - 45 €

../images/T2/T4233S.jpg

Set aside

This imperial green tea is fashioned with the young shoots of tea bushes known as ‘Samidori’ or ‘tender green bud’.  
Reserved for the fabrication of some of the most sought-after shaded teas in the world like Gyokuro or Tencha, these ‘Samidori’ tea bushes are emblematic of the Kyoto region. 
The Tencha leaves are grinded down with the help of stone mills, then this magnificent emerald powder is used for the majestic Japanese ceremony of tea. The dosage is handled with the use of a measuring spoon known as a ‘chashaku’, and the jade foam made with a whisk called a ‘chasen’, both made in bamboo.

Sublime emerald powder sparkling with suave fragrance.
Delicious brioche-like aromas are enhanced with an elegant note of white flowers.
The round and silky liquor floods the palate with floral nuances evoking stewed white melon and precious orchid honey.
A finale of rare elegance recalls the smooth sweetness of macadamia nut.
A richly umami imperial elixir.

Set aside

Here is one of the most sought after Senchas from Japan, crafted with an attention to detail by a family of three brothers who count themselves among the most experienced and well-known planters in the Land of the Rising Sun. Cultivated on Mount Kirishima, on the island of Kyushu, this rare and precious tea is plucked by hand only once a year and reserved exclusively for Mariage Frères. Its exceptional quality and smooth flavour make it a jewel of the ‘Illuminating Teas’.

Dried leaves: The bright, handsome and lustrous leaves exhale a fruity aroma of lychee and candied persimmon.
Infused leaves: The finery of jade unleashes notes of sweet magnolia flower and wild strawberry.
Liquor: The liquor with emerald reflections resembles nectar. Besides hints of bamboo resin and candied angelica, the umami texture resonates with a tone of sumptuous white apricot.

JASMIN MAGIQUE

T8314 - 35 € / 100g

../images/T2/T8314.jpg

Set aside

Mariage Frères enhances its collection of jasmine teas, deliciously avant-garde and already among the finest in the world. The prosperous China of the Song Dynasty is the cradle of jasmine tea and whose spirit remains alive in the plantations on the coastal islands of Fujian. The privileged relationship between Mariage Frères and the planter has served to honour a millenary savoir-faire; the association of an « imperial harvest » with jasmine flowers yield an irresistible masterpiece, rare and nuanced.

Dried leaves : The most extraordinary Yin Zhen are carefully plucked by hand, one by one, and delicately dried to sublimate the aromas hidden in their silken dress. Tender to the touch like cotton flower, as luminous as precious diamonds, the silver tips mingle among the jasmine petals frosted with vanilla.

Infused leaves : Jade streaked with pure white. A jasmine veil of a thousand flowers melts, bit by bit, into a fragrance evoking lavender honey joined by a wave of swirling, precious perfume.

Liquor : Bright vermilion. The cup’s gourmet body ascends in a citrusy wake as fragrant as an orchard of wild tangerine. Its tasting is a hymn to flavour: gentle frangipani flowers blend with rose water, seducing the most demanding of aesthetes.

An enchanted snow.

Jasmine tea by Mariage Frères
Our jasmine tea is scented according to a time-honoured tradition.
Plucked at dawn, thousands of delicate jasmine flowers are layered into the tea leaves and buds.
The dry tea thus absorbs all of the heady, natural fragrance from the fresh flowers.
This melding is repeated several times so the essence suffuses the heart of the tea.
Between perfuming, the tea is dried again so that new, freshly plucked flowers may impart more aroma.
After giving up all their delicious jasmine scent to the tea, the dried flowers are then carefully collected by hand, one by one.
The all-natural jasmine tea is finally ready to be enjoyed.

../images/T2/T4144.jpg

Set aside

Our Gyokuro comes from a small, organic family garden in the celebrated town of Makizono situated on the island of Kyushu.
This splendid ‘Shadow Tea’, a gift from the land of the Rising Sun, is cultivated according to the Japanese tradition of shading the tea bushes from direct sunlight. In these exquisite terroirs, the woven straw of the shade houses undulate with the hilly, fertile landscapes of one of the most beautiful regions in Japan. Protected from the sun for two to three weeks, the supple leaves with an extraordinary gourmet aroma of white flowers are then plucked by hand using precise ancestral techniques. After a meticulous crafting, the planter achieves this fine and lustrous tea with a rich umami flavour synonymous of a Grand Cru.

Dried leaves : The buds and tender leaves are gently steam-heated with pure volcanic water until they become marvellous, emerald needles delivering a score of blossoming white orchids, followed by notes of roasted Fuji apples and tender meringue.

Infused leaves : Brilliant emerald. The leaves’ perfume opens on a note of white guava and golden caramel.

Liquor : Jade-tinted silk hemmed with gold, the liquor caresses the palate with a velvety texture and a soft umami aroma. The sweetness of white strawberry married to the woody-flowery fragrance of the leaves evoke gourmet marron glacé, crowned by a finale of white nougat and green pistachio. 
		
A tea of high emotions.

Across the seas, in the south of Korea, exists a kingdom founded by the Gods whose actual inhabitants are said to be their direct descendants. Named « the Island of the Gods », Jeju is home to an organic tea plantation blessed with a subtropical climate and a pure air where this famous green tea is produced.

Dried leaves : The tenderest of leaves are steam-heated in the vapour of pure mountain water then crafted into elegant needles, emerald in colour. A hint of nashi pear precedes a veritable flourishing of spring azaleas.

Infused leaves : An aroma of hibiscus introduces a rich olfactory score replete with fresh notes of pink peppercorn accentuated by a mineral aura evoking volcanic rock cooled by a summer’s rain.

Liquor : Intense jade. A pleasant umami sensation veils the palate whilst a round taste of buckwheat honey precedes a gentle, citrusy note of mandarin jam. The cup is crowned by a unique and perfectly balanced aroma of white caramel and gentian flowers.

THE MOST PRECIOUS OF JAPANESE GYOKURO

Mount Fuji, about 100 km southwest of Tokyo, dominating the Japanese Alps overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is a sacred mountain for the Japanese. The Asahina River meanders along its steep slopes, irrigating a volcanic soil that offers exceptional qualities to the tea trees.

Our Gyokuro Suprême Asahina comes from a small family garden surrounded by forests and lovingly cared for by a couple of tea enthusiasts: the planter, recognised for over half a century as an expert in the art of treating the precious leaves of tea trees – to protect them from direct sunlight, he veils them in straw and with his companion only harvests at dawn – has specially created for Mariage Frères only – as the great painters of the past used to do – a masterpiece, in a very limited amount and of a quality never before attained.

Dried leaves : long and elegant, gleaming emerald green, accentuated by and glittering buds: unbelievably tender

Infused leaves : a fresh floral bouquet, supple and intense, remarkably elegant

Liquor : blue-green in colour – symbol of the Japanese Imperial Court – marked by a thick, velvety texture, full-bodied, supple with aromatic inflections that progressively intensify. Smooth and dense, it quickly entices the palate with the gourmet notes of biscuit, crème pâtissière, and warm brioche; floral buttercup rise up and provide a striking counterpoint. The whole is crowned by a long finale, sweet with a hint of red berries. The luxurious sensation, delicate and opulent, lingers indefinitely in the mouth.

The leaves may undergo a second, shorter infusion which will prove just as wonderful.

Our Kuki Hojicha is issued from a small, family-run tea garden in the charming Mie countryside, in the heart of the celebrated region of Kansai.
A high-quality Kukicha composed of fine Gyokuro twigs is exquisitely married to a delicious Hojicha made from the beautiful leaves of a Bancha after a gentle stove-top heating. Soothing and flavourful, this new tea can be enjoyed alone or accompanying meals, in the morning or in the evening thanks to its low theine content.

Dried Leaves: In beautiful matte mahogany, the leaves seduce with their perfume of roasted cacao blended with notes of liquorice and red caramel.

Infused Leaves: Shining ebony, fragrances of gingerbread mix with an aroma of forest floor.

Liquor: Deep amber. The liquor, fresh and lively, resonates with immortelle blossom mixed with tonka bean and raisin. The finale is as delicate on the palate as a drop of heather honey.

The rarity and exceptional taste of "Dragon Well" (literal translation of 'Lung Ching') are the results of its unique terroir and the characteristic shaping of the leaves. The young shoots are transformed, repeatedly heated in woks between stages of withering and resting in large bamboo baskets, first at high heat then at low heat, and always sifted by hand to maintain perfect homogeneity. The flat leaves crafted in the shape of a 'sparrow's tongue' are the hallmark of this legendary and emblematic tea, among the best in China.

Dried leaves: The young, celadon-green shoots are flat, shaped like sparrow's tongues.

Infused leaves: Elegant notes of green guava and fresh walnut, with a gourmet touch of marzipan.

Liquor: As pure and crystalline as mountain water, the golden-hued liquor with emerald reflections is supple and delicate. From the start, a bouquet of wild flowers and creamy honey bewitches the cup before beautiful notes of argan nut set in, charming the palate with its generous persistence.

This early Chinese green tea is the very first of the year. High-altitude harvest where the legendary "Dragon Well" (literal translation of 'Lung Ching') teas originated, crafted between Lion’s Peak and West Lake in the coastal province of Zhejiang.

The rarity and exceptional taste of Lung Ching are the results of its unique terroir and the characteristic shaping of the leaves. The young shoots are transformed, repeatedly heated in woks between stages of withering and resting in large bamboo baskets, first at high heat then at low heat, and always sifted by hand to maintain perfect homogeneity. The flat leaves crafted in the shape of a 'sparrow's tongue' are the hallmark of this legendary and emblematic tea, among the best in China.

Dried leaves: Tender and beautiful young shoots in beautiful celadon green, as flat as the tongue of a sparrow.

Infused leaves: Rich bouquet with the fresh scent of bamboo resin and white peony, slowly revealing notes of green mango jam and cashew nuts.

Liquor: Pleasantly surprising with an expressive, bewitching scent of candied mango and red berries, the liqueur fills the cup with a beautiful shade of pale gold and jade green reflections. It literally bursts onto the palate with lively, intense aromas of fresh walnut, candied yuzu peel and mangosteen. The flavour is rich and deep, balanced, where the memory of the slow heating of the leaves lives on in a lingering, admirable sweet aftertaste.

A spring Lung Ching of exceptional finesse.

Notre Sencha Nara est issu d’un petit jardin de thé organique du village de Tsukigase à Nara.
Ce joyau inestimable composé exclusivement de jeunes bourgeons récoltés un à un par des cueilleuses aux gestes précis s’épanouit au cœur de temples bouddhistes aux bienfaits infinis sur les âmes, et selon la tradition locale, sur le Terroir. Quelques heures à peine séparent la récolte d’un délicat et succinct flétrissage dans l’atelier familial, avant la cuisson douce à l’aide d’une vapeur d’eau pure. Les jeunes aiguilles lustrées parées de leur habit vert flamboyant exhalent mille et une fragrances magiques, propices à l’évasion mais aussi et surtout aux plaisirs infinis de la dégustation d’un cru confidentiel en quantité très limitée.

Feuilles sèches : Les bourgeons émeraudes livrent une note fruitée-fleurie de mirabelles suivie d’une onde lactée de figue blanche sur un filigrane vanillé irrésistible.

Feuilles infusées : Vert nacré lumineux. Le parfum des feuilles évoque un sablé au beurre, rejoint par la douceur parfumée des fleurs de cerisiers et de nashis rôtis.

Liqueur : Jade aux reflets dorés. Le palais est enveloppé d’une intense saveur umami au parfum hespéridé, puis par la texture moelleuse et liquoreuse, privilège des seuls Grands Crus. Des effluves de bigaradiers en fleurs magnifiés de notes d’abricot cuit ponctuent le final couronné de noix d’arganier grillées et de fleurs d’osmanthus odorantes.

« A tea blessed by the Gods »
Between sea and sky, at the crossroads of fertile valleys framed by spectacular panoramas bathed by the Okitsu river flowing down the mountain from the north, Mariage Frères has produced this exclusive green tea « Meicha » – organic and extremely rare. The soft morning drizzle and the thick evening mists infuse the air with a humidity that cloaks the tea plants in a protective veil that protects them from the harsh rays of the sun. The most delicate saveurs are thus preserved and magnified. The extremely attentive hand-picking followed by a perfectly mastered crafting of the leaves impart an extraordinary taste to this harvest.

Dried leaves : Bright, pure green. This rare cru introduces a bevy of aromas – airy like silver tilleul honey and suave like delicate mangosteen.

Infused leaves : Absinthe-green in colour from which warm, reassuring aromas escape. The wet moss of a bamboo forest exhales its first fragrances, complimented by a gentle, mingling caress of truffle. The flowery-sweet tone is enhanced by an enveloping note of datura.

Liquor : Topaz yellow. The palate is caressed by a pleasant aroma of candied angelica while a delightful note of juicy white currant sparkles until the last drop.

Sumptuously balanced, the taste of sensuality.

« A green tea for eternity »
To the west of Fuji Yama, the Abe and Warashina rivers crisscross the land alternating between galloping rapids and peaceful waves. 
They irrigate terroirs long celebrated for their unique grands crus, the famous « Meicha », elected by the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo period (16th – 18th centuries).
Cultivated since the Kamakura era (12th century), today this fabulous green tea is produced exclusively for Mariage Frères while respecting the principles of organic agriculture and its natural environment. The small garden from where this tea comes benefits from a soil rich in minerals and a pure, invigorating mountain air. Long reserved for aristocrats and lords, this precious tea, « Emperor of the Sencha », has transcended time like an elixir of eternal youth.

Dried leaves : The young leaves, harvested one by one, are expertly steamed then delicately crafted. They are thus transformed into magnificent, slender needles in a hypnotic shade of green.

Infused leaves : Luminous and emerald; the first reflections are carried by a note of yuzu jam with hints of powdery rose before revealing an aroma of fresh pistachio.

Liquor : Brilliant and tender green, a soft and persistent cup. At first, a prelude of roasted marshmallow is evoked then, unleashed from the heart of the leaves, a perfume of precious white melon seduces the drinker. A pleasurable sensation of coolness is initiated by a note reminiscent of candied angelica and nashi pear blushing under the first frost.

Exquisite and gourmand. A rare harmony.
