ORCHIDÉE DIVINE®

Blue tea - China
Jardin Premier*

In the north of Fujian province stand the famous Wuyi Mountains, whose vertiginous peaks carve out a green landscape bathed in mist. On their steep slopes grow some of the greatest 'rock teas'.
This 'Divine Orchid' tea, a literal and poetic translation of its Chinese name, is one of those blue teas whose deep oxidation offers new adventures in flavour.

Dried leaves: The whole leaves sculpted like curlicues are marked by a long oxidation, giving them a shade of ebony.

Infused leaves: A floral brume mingles with the gourmet scents of golden marzipan.

Liquor: The infusion in the shade of brown jasper reveals a rich nose of brioche and brown butter. A round and warm flavour of toasted pecan is expressed generously and persistently in a liqueur with perfectly balanced texture.
