PU ERH SUPREME
Matured tea - Jardin Premier*
China

T2017 - 26 € / 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.

GYOKURO KAGOSHIMA
Green tea - Jardin Premier*
Japan

T4144 - 65 € / 100g

../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.

SENCHA NARA

T4270 - 50 € / 100g

../images/T2/T4270.jpg

Set aside

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.

TC6001 - 18 €

../images/T2/TC6001.jpg

Set aside

Mariage Frères invites you on a sensory journey to Southern Africa.

Tucked away at 1,150m in altitude lies a family plantation known for the quality of its teas for the past three generations.

Southern Africa is a territory with nearly infinite natural resources and a climate structured by the rainy season between November and March. Local tea bushes have adapted to this unique Terroir and produce artisanal harvests rich in flavour. The young, freshly hand-picked leaves are quickly sent to the atelier to be crafted into this particular tea which is then delicately smoked with the leaves of guava trees that grow on the plantation.

To enjoy throughout the day, hot or cold.

Dried leaves : The long, obsidian black leaves release unique notes of smoked ebony accentuated by strong, malted aromas.

Infused leaves : The colour of marron glacé, heart notes of tonka bean blend with hints of pink peppercorn.

Liquor : Lucid caramel brown. The smooth, smoky sweetness of the liquor caresses the palate with notes of woody nougat scored with a glaze of creamy date.
	
Round and flavourful for the afficionados.

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 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!

MILKY BLUE®
Seductive Blue Tea™
with a rich milky note

TB2319 - 24 €

../images/T2/TB2319.jpg

Set aside

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.

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.

PLUCKED FROM A LARGE, CENTURIES-OLD WILD TEA TREE IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

In the heart of the Kingdom of Thailand, Mariage Frères has discovered a gift from nature; a wild tea tree hidden in the ancient lands of Opium in the Golden Triangle.  In this misty, mountainous region situated along the border of Burma and Laos, nature’s best conditions are reunited: an exceptional terroir at an altitude of 1,500 meters allows this tea tree to let its rich leaves express unique and exquisite saveurs.

Dried leaves : The tender leaves and young, elegantly twisted buds decked out in majestic volcanic livery exhale a smooth perfume of frangipani flowers wet from the monsoon, joined by exquisite notes of pink galangal.

Infused leaves : Luminous green streaked with garnet. Still warm, the leaves seduce with a gourmet note of praline followed by a fresh burst of rose water. Then from the leaves exudes a fruity-green score evoking freshly-picked starfruit.

Liquor : The opalescent orange liquor blends into a round, cashew-tinted hue evoking elegantly fruity sensations of roasted apricot. A pleasantly sweet-and-floral nuance of dainty violet frames a delicious rush of candied quince.

Authentic and unbelievably sophisticated.

This new green tea « Sencha from the Valley » was born in a preserved family garden. It will appeal not only to connoisseurs looking for something new but debutants seeking to experience the unknown. Harvested amidst rice paddies and lush vegetable gardens, the carefully plucked leaves are quickly steam-heated in order to extract their natural flavours. A story of taste and colour to enjoy without moderation, harmonizing perfectly with meals.

Dried leaves : Tender, brilliant-green leaves exhale notes of delicious jackfruit blended with rich nuances of honey.

Infused leaves : Luminous green, the leaves diffuse a fruity and flowery fragrance of white cherry then a gourmet undertone evoking candied gingko nut.

Liquor : Chartreuse green. The cup offers to the palate a citrusy note equivalent to the zest of calamondin with a fresh note of gourmet almond milk.

A beautiful balance of the senses.

Set aside

In the far south of Japan, Kagoshima Bay is shaped by the nearby volcanoes found on Kyushu. This garden with centenary tea trees originating from the best plants on the island is nourished by a prodigious terroir. The harvest distinguishes itself from other grand producers by a heating method where the leaves undergo successive steamings; the vapour thus penetrates to the heart of the buds, enabling the leaves to unleash a veritable sensorial quintessence during the tasting.

Dried leaves : An elegant combination of young leaves in luminescent green deliver fruity intonations of pomegranate and loquat. A smooth, milky heart note evokes the influential trade winds that bask the gardens in nurturing mists.

Infused leaves : Elegant green garnet, the leaves exude a pleasant flowery-sweet scent of lilies while a woody aroma seems to recall a bucolic walk through a forest of cedars dripping from the monsoons. Once cooled, a hint of golden buckwheat arouses the senses.

Liquor : A profound and mysterious emerald. The cup offers an ambrosial first note of Brazil nut followed by a gourmet hint of white chocolate with floral highlights. Drawn against the palate is a umami flair in harmony with unique flavours: the roundness of white strawberry, the vivacity of yuzu, and the sweet bitterness of hops.

A charming idyll.

At the heart of the island of Taiwan was born Rare Milky Blue Tea&reg;, in the region of Nantou, celebrated for its endless fertile plains and unreachable summits. Mariage Frères has distilled all the magic of the terroir of Tung Ting Mountain to create a unique and mysterious Blue Tea™ with a milky aroma, naturally drawn out from the essence of the leaf.

Dried leaves : Like a beautiful jade-pearl necklace the leaves are carefully rolled out and heated, eliciting an exquisite note of biscuit followed by a hint of chypre – reminiscent of a forest stroll in budding spring – accompanied by a reassuring fragrance of candied tamarind.

Infused leaves : The infused leaves open with a frank floral aroma recalling fresh redwood resin, then an airy note of precious rice, harmoniously blanketed with milky vapors.

Liquor : The ripe apricot-coloured robe is full of tender fragrances – an overture to a creamy and dense cup – bursting with stewed fruits on a backdrop of white almond cream.

This new harvest comes from a small garden in the heart of « The Hill of Peace ». A fertile region, abounding in fruit and grain plantations, the terroir gives rise to a wonder that rivals the best of the Blue Teas of China and Formosa, both aesthetically and aromatically.

Dried leaves : Hand crafted into jade-coloured pearls, the young leaves are like precious, porcelain jewels. A supple aroma of longan honey precedes a fruitiness dominated by white mango, highlighted by a hint of kaffir lime zest.

Infused leaves : A unique ensemble of blossoming buds recall an orchid, elegantly expressed through precious wisps of agarwood and an intoxicating fragrance of absinthe. The finale is balanced by a subtle filigree of golden spelt bread, fresh from the oven.

Liquor : In a golden, crystalline robe the liquor caresses the palate with finesse, its gentle roundness like a lychee jam flavoured with lemongrass. An airy, floral note lingers like a bouquet of blooming peonies.

Rare and irresistible.

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.

Dried leaves : The sublime golden buds and their young ebony-coloured leaves exhale an enchanting aroma of acerola cherry and single-origin cacao.

Infused leaves : With a shade evoking marron glacé, the leaves deliver a melody of chypre accentuated with safflower and joined by a suave hint of beeswax.

Liquor : Luminous amber red. Malty and chocolatey aromas coalesce with the fragrance of precious incense. The liquor vibrates with a thousand nuances, alternating between fruity blueberry and the flowery coolness of rosebud and vanilla flowers.

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.
