Matured tea - Jardin Premier*
China
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:</b>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. <b> Infused leaves:</b>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. <b> Liquor</b> 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. <img src="../images/jardin_premier/bloc_jardin_premier_en.gif" width="480" height="auto" alt="Label Jardin Premier">

Buy
../images/T2/T2213.jpg
Set aside
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. <b>Dried leaves : </b>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. <b>Infused leaves : </b>Frosted emerald, the leaves unleash a note of cool resin and creamy honey, scored with a zesty aroma of mandarin. <b>Liquor : </b>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.

LUNG CHING HIGH MOUNTAIN
Green tea

../images/T2/T2214.jpg
Set aside
In the coastal province of Zhejiang lies a magnificent garden from where our Lung Ching High Mountain is issued. This premier harvest is realised at the dawn of spring time; the first buds are plucked one by one and then quickly heated in the family’s atelier. The care applied to each step of the manufacturing process helps concentrate the aromatic richness of the leaves nourished by an exceptional terroir. <b>Dried leaves: </b>The slender, jade-coloured buds deliver a fragrance of peony and roasted hazelnut. <b>Infused leaves: </b>The lively aroma of candied green mango marries deliciously to notes of gianduja. <b>Liquor: </b>Shimmering gold. The exquisite liquor blooms with a note of yellow kiwi scored with hints of patisserie recalling rich macaron. The umami sensation of the liquor, persistent and enveloping, is marked by an elegance of vanilla and a freshness of galangal. The height of taste.

MILKY BLUE®
Seductive Blue Tea™
with a rich milky note
TB2319 - 22 €
Buy
../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. <b>Dried leaves : </b>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. <b>Infused leaves : </b>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. <b>Liquor : </b>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.

Mariage Frères expands its collection of jasmine tea, deliciously avantgarde and already among the best in the world. Issued from an organic garden in the Yunnan province, Jasmin Bohème tea is as fresh as it is delicate. <b>Dried leaves:</b>The young leaves and buds are carefully harvested by hand, one by one, and delicately dried to seal in the saveurs of this exceptional terroir. The jasmine petals marry delightfully with notes of gingerbread and tonka bean. <b>Infused leaves:</b>Cerused imperial green. A first note of white nougat is enhanced with fruity variations recalling longan and persimmon, then united with a woody heart note of eucalyptus. <b>Liquor</b>Pale crystalline gold. The plush velvety liquor soothes the palate with jasmine followed by hints of wild black berries and a dash of yuzu. The pleasant sensation of hibiscus is punctuated with a creamy note of almond and a silky note of vanilla. The last drop signals a lingering bouquet of precious incense and golden mimosa. Chic and unexpected. <img src="../images/jardin_premier/bloc_jardin_premier_en.gif" width="480" height="auto" alt="Label Jardin Premier"

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. <b> Dried leaves: </b> 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. <b> Infused leaves: </b>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. <b> Liquor</b> 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. <img src="../images/jardin_premier/bloc_jardin_premier_en.gif" width="480" height="auto" alt="Label Jardin Premier">

../images/T2/T2215.jpg
Set aside
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. <b>Dried leaves : </b>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. <b>Infused leaves : </b>Frosted emerald, the infused leaves express a fruity variant of candied white currant and pink grapefruit sprinkled with drops of bamboo water. <b>Liquor : </b>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. <img src="../images/jardin_premier/bloc_jardin_premier_en.gif" width="480" height="auto" alt="Label Jardin Premier">

../images/T2/T2323.jpg
Set aside
Mariage Frères discovered this Blue Tea™ during a trip to the magnificent province of Guizhou, in the southwest of China. In the heart of this mountainous isolated terrain – almost 1,200 metres in altitude – grow centenary tea trees nourished by abundant rain and a perfect temperature all year round. The singular quality of this tea resides in the natural, mini-oxidation of the young tender leaves caused by a small insect hungry for tree sap. Natural juices are therefore liberated from the leaves, imparting a gourmet touch to the liquor. de montagne est rejointe par la douceur fruitée d’un confit de papaye. La gourmandise des noix du Brésil grillées est ciselée par la vivacité de la berbéris et clos par une évocation argileuse.

../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. <b>Dried leaves : </b>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. <b>Infused leaves : </b>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. <b>Liquor : </b>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.

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. <b>Dried leaves : </b>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. <b>Infused leaves : </b>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. <b>Liquor : </b>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.

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. <b>Dried leaves :</b> 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. <b>Infused leaves :</b> 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. <b>Liquor :</b> 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.

Mariage Frères discovered this Blue Tea™ during a voyage to the magnificent province of Guizhou, in the southwest of China. In the heart of this mountainous isolated terrain, almost 1,200 metres in altitude, grow centenary tea trees nourished by abundant rain and a perfect temperature all year round. The singular quality of this tea resides in the mini-oxidation of the young tender leaves caused by the natural intervention of a small insect hungry for tree sap. Natural juices are therefore liberated from the leaves, imparting a gourmet touch to the liquor. <b>Dried leaves:</b> The partially oxidised leaves with blueish nuances and downy buds unleash a fragrant bouquet of peony and shortbread. <b>Infused leaves:</b> Imperial green. The leaves release a hint of blueberry jam enlivened with a dash of rosewood. <b>Liquor:</b> Luminous amber. A note of fresh resin blends with delicious white peach, punctuated by waves of brown caramel. Blue Romance. <img src="../images/jardin_premier/bloc_jardin_premier_en.gif" width="480" height="auto" alt="Label Jardin Premier">

Legend tells of a time when the Chinese used monkeys to harvest the leaves of wild tea plants growing in hard to reach places such as the peaks of cliffs or the steep slopes of mountains. Today “Monkey tea” signifies a higher quality harvest, composed of only buds and the first leaves delicately plucked by hand. “Golden Monkey King” typically originates from Yunnan, but this Thé des Singes d’Or, a rare and highly sought-after cru, comes from a very old garden in the Chinese province of Fujian brought back to life by Mariage Frères. <b>Leaves : </b>the most majestic buds, still downy with a handsome gold sheen blend with “flowery orange pekoes” whole, unbroken and the colour of cocoa beans <b>Nose : </b>a first hint of sweet tamarind, joined by bursts of rosewood and notes of lychee jam. <b>Infusion : </b>an auburn tint with stunning clarity; the liquor opens on an amazingly velvety texture with gourmet notes of spring honey, hazelnut, and then stewed chestnut before giving way to a tender finale of cooked plum and longan. A beautifully mellow cup, rich and generous, that lingers on the palate: absolute fashion par excellence.

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).
