T2017 - 25 € / 100g

../images/T2/T2017.jpg

Set aside

Mariage Frères breaks with all the codes and introduces The French Art of Tea to the hushed and confidential world of Pu-Erh; a privileged relationship with the planter has brought forth a ‘Suprême’ harvest and a meticulous imperial tea. Like the rarest of Cognacs, the best harvests issued from reserved parcels are married together to create the jewel of the already unique and extravagant collection of Pu-Erh available on the Mariage Frères tea menu.

<d> Dried leaves:The young leaves, elegant and golden, release a profusion of noble fragrances evoking black truffle wet with morning dew, the flowery-scented wood of the cocoa tree, and roasted chestnut.

Infused leaves:Blazing amber. The infused leaves evoke a reverie of a forest walk surging with the aromas of autumn, joined by captivating notes recalling an antique mahogany humidor and a dash of musky Cologne.

Liquor Pale gold. The infusion is delicate, dense and rich with a myriad of fabulously seductive and enchanting notes. The graceful prelude of a bouquet of lotus, persistent and perfumed, is followed by a sweet and subtle dash of cinnamon. A frank and layered heart note of fern and iris diffuse with vanilla and tonka bean before ascending in a soft, zesty finale.

Heavenly and virtuous.

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.

NAMRING HIGH MOUNTAIN
EX14/2018 - Blue tea™
Darjeeling

T146 - 58 € / 100g

../images/T2/T146.jpg

Set aside

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 2018. 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 downy buds and full, twisted young leaves unleash an aroma of blueberry glaze.

Infused leaves: A bouquet of buttercup scored with the fresh fragrance of fern.

Liquor: Shimmering gold leaf. The enveloping umami texture is joined by rich notes of sultana and almond. Fruity notes of stewed cherry sprinkled with cardamom flood the palate before a silky and seductive finale evokes warm biscuit drizzled with elderberry syrup.

Blue paradise.

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.

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 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.

Issued from a garden respecting the principles of biodynamic agriculture

Celebrating its special relationship with the planter of this garden, Mariage Frères proposes the first Darjeeling 2018 summer harvest. In the heart of the lush Mirik valley the tea plants of Phuguri, planted in 1878, are protected by a forest of bamboo and nurtured by the Mahananda river. This jewel of A.O.P Darjeeling produces extraordinary teas whose best leaves are worked specially for Mariage Frères according to the principles of The French Art of Tea. At the dawn of summer when the heavy heat mixes with the nourishing rain of the monsoon, the youngest leaves and their first buds are plucked by hand, benefiting from all the richness of this exceptional Terroir.

Dried leaves: The young leaves married to splendid ivory buds deliver notes evoking apricot sablé.

Infused leaves: A delicious blend of candy cane and lychee.

Liquor: Amber with ruby highlights. With an enveloping and umami texture, the liquor is sustained by nuances of rose, vivacious black currant and velvety white vanilla. The finale is crowned by a wisp of citron honey.

A legendary cru.

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.

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.

LIMITED QUANTITY

Here is the rarest of the Grand Cru Gyokuro – exclusive, unique and confidential – whose extremely limited production barely exceeds 10 kilograms per year. Our GYOKURO HAKUYOCHA UMAMI (literally « tea of white leaves ») is a prestigious shaded tea, issued from a parcel of land dedicated to Mariage Frères, in the heart of a small family-owned estate, surrounded by forests and lovingly maintained, close to Mount Fuji. The planter, recognised as a master in the art of tea making, has at our request specially created this masterpiece of unparalleled quality. This Grand Cru is composed only of young buds, tender and pearly. For about 25 days, an opaque triple-ply shade protects the tea plants from sunlight, thus hindering photosynthesis and the production of chlorophyll. This masterful use of obscurity favours 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 leaves exhale an extraordinary bouquet marrying the roundness of white vanilla, the fruity sweetness of gold kiwi and the smooth elegance of hibiscus flowers.

Infused leaves: A wave of white strawberry and Japanese cantaloupe, scored with heady rose.

Liquor: The luminous elixir of jade and gold seduces with its intense umami flavour. A perfumed breeze from a bamboo forest blends with an air of white mango and zesty nuances evoking candied citron. Cashew, creamy in texture and fragrance, combines with cardamom.

Set aside

Mariage Frères expands its extraordinary collection of Blue Tea™. Honey Blue® is issued from a confidential garden and 100% organic. Nestled in the heart of a fertile reserve the tea plants thrive in a cold environment that slows the growth of the leaves, thereby promoting smaller, more qualitative harvests the likes of which resemble the work of an haute couture goldsmith. The youngest leaves are plucked by hand, one by one, at just the right time in order to respect nature’s rhythm. The leaves are then quickly transported to the atelier for a partial oxidisation before being hand-crafted into precious little pearls. Infused in spring water at 95 °C, this masterpiece unleashes myriad saveurs even after 5 successive infusions. Paradise isn’t so far away after all…

Dried leaves: Jade and emerald, the leaves exhale fragrances of mallow and magnolia flower.

Infused leaves: Precious opalescence. A resinous note of cedar marries with the gourmet elegance of plumeria and crystallised vanilla.

Liquor: Precious gold. A bouquet of white orchid and immortelle blossom blends with liquorice. The umami texture is punctuated with notes of honey and ‘tatin-style’ rhubarb.
Noble flavour.

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

Made with the utmost respect for the traditional methods specific to grand Blue Teas™, the youngest leaves of this quality tea are picked early in the morning, when the fragrances of the plantation blend with the colours of dawn, then worked one by one and rolled, before being suffused with an elegant milky vapor.

Dried leaves : The gently rolled, deep green leaves recall a pleasing and comforting fragrance of melted white chocolate joined by a wispy hint of gianduja gracefully carried by a note of ‘panettone’ from the Piedmont.

Infused leaves : The first aromas are clearly held together by exotic fruits, a tad tangy like passion fruit and round like ripened lychee while an enveloping note recalling coconut rice manifests, deliciously gourmand.

Liquor : Opalescent orange. A natural link between terroir and the cup: the nose of the liquor is a perfect reflection of the leaf (dried and infused). Delicate notes of candied chestnut and creme patissiere charm the palate, caressed by the cup’s milky, supple texture.

An ode to eternal pleasures.

Set aside

These «Silver Needles» are only plucked once a year in the context of a meticulous harvesting labeled «imperial» and are only presented as ‘Suprême’ if the harvest warrants such excellence. Mariage Frères proudly presents its newest masterpiece, Yin Zhen Suprême, issued from an organic garden composed of only the finest buds which deliver extraordinary freshness and indescribable poetry in the cup.

Dried leaves: Pearly white and jade, the buds dazzle with their perfection. Sensual to the touch, an aromatic profusion registering a zesty note of mandarine is joined by the woody-flowery fragrances of jasmine and sandalwood, punctuated by a heady flood of white orchid.

Infused leaves: Ivory and green saphire. Once infused, the flamboyance of colours and aromas multiplies. An olfactory extravaganza replete with scents of almond, pistachio and orange blossom linger amongst a score of noble spices, evoking an exuberant bouquet of gourmet vanilla and wet peony.

Liquor Brilliant gold. A fresh, first wave of eucalyptus dances with the aromas of the crimped leaves of wild mulberry. The second rush of flavour, full of roundness, recalls notes of chypre, ylang ylang, rose and vetiver, matured by a deliciously fruity resonance of blackcurrant and sweet violet. The palate is caressed with hints of grilled hazelnut, followed by an earthy and harmonious finale of roasted pear and ‘grand cru’ black bee honey.

Your wish is granted.

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.
