GYOKURO IMPÉRIAL HAKUYOCHA

LIMITED QUANTITY OF ONLY 10 KG OF TEA IN 2019

Here is the rarest of the Grand Cru Gyokuro – exclusive, unique and confidential – whose extremely limited production barely exceeds 10 kilograms per year.

Our Gyokuoro Impérial Hakuyocha (literally « tea of white leaves ») is a prestigious shaded tea issued from a small family garden. A lovingly maintained parcel of land exclusively reserved for Mariage Frères sits surrounded by forests and the majestic vision of Mount Fuji. The planter, respected as a Master in the art of tea making, has at our request specially created this masterpiece of unparalleled quality.

This masterpiece, sourced from a Jardin Premier*, is an ode to the rich sense of umami. The avant-garde spirit and the savoir-faire of Mariage Frères soar to new heights with this tea. This Grand Cru is composed of only the youngest buds harvested one by one with great care. Only the most tender and magnificent pearly shoots are plucked. For about 25 days, an opaque, triple-ply shade protects the tea plants from sunlight which hinders photosynthesis and, consequently, the production of chlorophyll. This masterful use of obscurity combined with a controlled temperature of around 50°C is paramount to the development of such rare and marvellous flavours. For the first time the liquor bursts with ‘ooika’ notes, deliciously fresh and fragrant, replete with unforgettable emotion.

Dried leaves : The sublime, slender, snowy-emerald needles exhale an extraordinary bouquet that marries the liveliness of pineapple, the flowery sweetness of raspberry and the smooth elegance of cherry blossom beating with a gourmet heart note evoking warm meringue.

Infused leaves : A fragrant rush of Mirabelle plum and angelica blended with a hint of macadamia is scored by a bright note of hibiscus water.

Liquor : With an appearance and perfume resembling a nectar of white peach, the unique elixir floods the palate with an intense umami sensation. Fruity pomegranate and magical, vaporous young cedar with a dash of vanilla dance in the cup harmoniously. A sweet note of white mango beautifully outlines these unprecedented sensorial emotions before a majestic finale – lingering, fresh and creamy – sets in.

Absolute and sublime Japan.

Gyokuro Impérial Hakuyocha will yield yet another impressive infusion if brewed a second time for under one minute

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.

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.

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.

Velveteen from the island of Kyushu.

Fashioned between the Lions Peak and Western Lake, in the coastal province of Zhejiang, plucked in small quantities, this Lung Ching Suprême tea reveals exceptional finesse and a surprising abundance of taste.

Dried leaves : The precious downy buds and young jade-coloured leaves deliver a first hint of fragrant peony followed by a fruity note of mango, suave and slightly jasmine-scented.

Infused leaves : Frosted emerald, the leaves unleash a note of cool resin and creamy honey, scored with a zesty aroma of mandarin.

Liquor : Flowing with a silky vermillion robe of dazzling purity, the liquor exhales a delicious perfume of steamed patisserie with notes of candied persimmon, pistachio and vanilla. Luxurious flavour and texture flood the palate with the smoothness of a ganache preceding a balanced sensation of sweet, tart nashi pear. The discovery persists with an appearance of white peach nectar blended with an ultra-sensual tone of ylang-ylang, lingering indefinitely.

An aesthetic treasure.

This grand masterpiece from the lush province of Yunnan comes from a secret garden revealed today, for the very first time, by Mariage Frères. These tea plants of exceptional quality benefit from a nurturing Terroir of infinite richness. Each harvest is a treasure, the fruit of centuries-old expertise from a family of tea planters whose gardens lay nestled in the heart of ancient mountains.

Dried leaves : The precious Yin Zhen, as white and pure as the eternal snows, is harvested with care then delicately prepared according to the precepts set forth by the Emperors centuries ago. From this myriad of downy buds escapes a fruity-honeyed aroma of white peach mixed with a velvety note of jasmine flower.

Infused leaves : Grey gold, the young buds release a fragrance evoking forest ferns in spring, exalted by an evocation of pure edelweiss in the haze of mountain peaks.

Liquor : Clear yellow topaz. An enveloping sensation like velvet is accentuated by its distinguished aromatic persistence. A veil of precious incense and sweet amber blend into a gourmet accord of apricot and praline.

The genesis of green tea.

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.

GYOKURO KAGOSHIMA

../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 gates to Paradise.

« 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.

*This tea is issued from a garden that has obtained organic certification in its Country or which uses methods associated with organic agriculture.

This majestic green tea, one of the most famous from China, comes to us from the Yellow Mountain (in Anhui province). The legend tells that a young girl working in the plantation, inconsolable after the loss of her beloved, shed enough tears to cover the entire region. Bathed in the perpetual mists of her grief, the body of her lover, ripped from her by Fate, transformed into a tea tree.

The buds and yellow-green, flattened leaves are covered in a fine silver duvet.

The cup, pure and translucent, boasts a pale copper hue and exudes an aroma of roasted chestnut with nuances of buttery brioche.

The liquor offers a fine texture, like satin, that caresses the palate and proliferates in a harmonious bouquet of green fruit (Chasselas grape, raw pistachio, green almond).

This tea is a perfect accompaniment to desserts and gourmet treats such as brioche, mendiants, calissons…

Our Kuki Hojicha is issued from a small, organic 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.

This premium China green tea is the first to appear, Year of the Dragon.

A superb harvest of high altitude from the famous “Dragon Well”, fashioned between the Lions Peak and Western Lake, in the coastal province of Zhejiang. This Spring Flush “Lung Ching d’Or”, harvested in very small quantities, proves to be simply outstanding.

Leaves : supple, flattened in the shape of a sparrow’s tongue and a handsome pale jade colour.

Nose : very enticing; exhales a floral bouquet mingling with dried fruits and green mango jam.

Liquor : clear and shimmering, its lively and structured texture literally explodes on the palate. It develops intense aromas, flowing and gay (iris, Imperial peony), blending in with the rising inflections of fresh walnut, chestnut and lightly roasted pine nut. Rich and balanced, its deep flavour testifies to the careful heating of the leaves during its creation, producing an admirably sweet lingering note.

The chosen tea; not only of the Emperors of China, but of “Golden Dragons” as well.

Notre Sencha Nara est issu d’un petit jardin de thé organique et familial 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.

The complicity of the planter and Mariage Frères’ chief blender has produced this grand cru of « Shadow Tea » through an imperial method of agriculture using a shade structure which protects the tea plants from the powerful sunlight in the ten days preceding the harvest.

Dried leaves : Emerald colour, majestic and luminescent. The most tender leaves are rapidly transported to the family’s workshop to undergo a controlled baking with volcanic steam and then hand-crafted and polished into fine, shiny needles. A sweet, milky wisp of almond foreshadows an elegant fragrance of flowers and fruit: pink lychee, white mango…

Infused leaves : Jade satin. A delicate bouquet of white flowers bewitches the taster. These marvelously soft and luscious leaves can be used to complement culinary dishes with a unique and sensual flair.

Liquor : Imperial gold. The cup offers a silky body evoking ylang-ylang honey followed by a gourmet wave of wild berries that caress the palate with a pleasant umami sensation. The infusion then reveals a round and fruity flavour recalling candied angelica, leaving a final impression of the precious incense that unfurls within the sacred spaces of ancient temples.

The Champagne of ‘Shadow Teas’.

« 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.
