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.

In the 12th century, south of Kyoto, then the imperial capital, the Uji region bore witness to a flourishing tea culture that would soon conquer all of Japan.
Its exceptional terroir along with the savoir-faire of its dedicated planters have earned its green teas their worldwide reputation.
This tea from a garden located in Wazuka has been cultivated for almost half a century using methods that respect the environment and its biodiversity, thus sharing a love of nature with Mariage Frères.
A grand cru, Sencha Wazuka – imbued with sweetness and subtle umami richness – leaves an unforgettable impression on the palate.

Dried leaves: Beautifully fine and slender, the needle-like leaves shine with an imperial green luster and luminous emerald nuances.
Infused leaves: Beyond the first invigorating notes of a slightly crumpled yuzu leaf, a fruity hint of gossamer white currant precedes the sweetness of peony scented under the morning dew.
Liquor: A dense, shiny opalescence envelops the liquor with mysterious jade hues. With a delicate bouquet of rice milk and cotton flower, the liquor swathes the palate with its unique caress whose silky softness carries the fruity notes of green nashi.

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.

In a valley surrounded by mountains, on the banks of the Lô River, Ha Giang is the highest province in the whole country. Only the local populations know how to pierce the mysteries of these steep mountains and splendid landscapes imbued with poetry, where wild tea trees over 400 years old are easily confused with the tallest trees found in the dense vegetation. Their thick and shiny leaves are selected with skill then worked with savoir-faire and a love for tradition, thus offering the eye and the palate a white tea of complexity and beauty that is both rare and authentic.

Dried leaves: Handsome thick buds whose down gives them the appearance of silvery edelweiss petals. They are accompanied by a few tender and fragile young shoots scattered amongst them, in an embrace as if to protect them.

Infused leaves: An extraordinary fruity score is expressed with complex notes of custard apple and white peach. As a postscript, a scent of fresh lychee envelops the cooled leaves.

Liquor: The cup, adorned with a magnificent pearly white robe, evokes the shimmering golden reflections of sun on snow. A sublime floral expression of white flowers melds into the fruitiness of ripe guava. The liqueur keeps a promise of absolute subtlety: its airy texture infinitely imbues the palate with the gentle, floral sweetness of candied lotus seeds. 
A tea for contemplation.

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.

In the north of Vietnam, the province of Yen Bai is famous for its breathtaking landscapes featuring green mountains sculpted by rice fields whose terraces hug the winding hills. It is also the cradle of many indigenous communities for whom traditions are deeply rooted in daily life. Since time immemorial, the native peoples have been picking the leaves of centuries-old wild tea trees rooted in the fertile soil of the misty mountains. An authentic matured tea, a return to the land and to nature.

Dried leaves: Long and splendid whole leaves whose slow maturation imparts a brown shade of colour like snakewood.

Infused leaves: Notes of oak and moss transport you to a forest after the rain, mingling with the aroma of banana leaf.

Liquor: The infusion reveals a shade of mahogany with sublime garnet reflections. Its concentrated scent evokes an aroma of forest floor misted with dew, spiced with a hint of delicately crumpled pepper leaf. The lively liqueur caresses the palate and evolves towards a gourmet, fruity note of sapodilla and chestnut cream.

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.

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.

«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.

Spring has sprung.

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.
