in Metropolitan France
In the south of Yunnan, in the heights of Xishuangbanna prefecture – the ancestral cradle of tea in China – Youle Mountain stands out among the six sacred tea mountains mentioned in the imperial archives of the Qing dynasty.
At an altitude of 1,320 meters, in the heart of lush and preserved vegetation, century-old wild tea plants (some of which reach over ten meters) display leaves of rare beauty. From spring to autumn, each leaf carries within it a part of this ancient history where nature and the savoir-faire of local planters unite in perfect harmony.
Presented in a Mariage Frères black pouch.
Description
Dried leaves: A splendid harvest of silver buds nestled by the delicate scented shoots that envelop them. Skilfully dried in the fresh air and sun of Yunnan, the leaves offer the majestic and precious appearance of the finest white teas. Thus, this Wild White Peony is presented in its purest state, intact and preserved.
Infused leaves: An airy and mysterious bouquet of orchid mixed with magnolia flower plunges us into the heart of a bamboo forest bathed in morning mist.
Liquor: Golden, with diaphanous reflections of pink peony, the suave and creamy liqueur exhales gentle notes of forest floor elegantly punctuated by fresh accents of white currant. The palate then floods with a sweet scent of waterlily and lychee honey. Like white velvet, magical and bewitching.
