RISHEEHAT
FTGFOP1 DJ4/2023 - Jardin Premier*
Spring Flush – Premium First Flush
«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.
Liquor: Sunny, like the colour of daffodils, the enchanting liqueur exhales a gourmet nose of calisson. Lively and silky at the same time, it releases beautifully floral bursts of mock-orange and elderberry blending with the sweetness of orange blossom honey.
Spring has sprung.
Cold brew:
1 - place 10g of tea in 1 liter of spring water; keep in the fridge for about 12 hours.
2 - filter out the leaves then let the liqueur come to room temperature.
3 - best served in a large balloon glass, filled up to a third.
"Cold brew", a slow infusion in cold water, results in a further exploration of the infinite aromatic palette of this grand cru. The cold allows new fragrances to express themselves in a dazzling and totally intoxicating way.
