BLOOMFIELD

Description

This garden is situated at the summit of the Blue Mountain near Darjeeling Town, one of the historic stations of the famous « Toy Train » inaugurated in the 19th century. From these lands grow exclusive and unique crus, counted among the best in the world, in the heart of the Himalayas amidst the lush forests of rare, precious trees. On preserved land and surrounded by orange groves, these century-old tea plants deliver the magical harvests sought after by afficionados of prestigious First Flush Darjeeling teas.

Dried leaves: Slender, twisted whole leaves form a rich tableau of pearly jade hues.

Infused leaves: A palette of floral fragrance beautifully takes shape. The delicate scent of a white rose bouquet precedes a tender, fruity hint of Mirabelle plum.

Liquor: The amber-coloured cup is adorned with handsome jade-green tones, exuding a delicious aroma of roasted apricot. The liqueur's smooth, balanced texture floods the palate with the honeyed accent of fresh dates, punctuated by a delicious note of white dragée

Tea in a Mariage Frères black pouch.

Cold brew:

1 - place 15g of tea in 1 litre of spring water and refrigerate for approximately 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, allows for a further exploration of the infinite aromatic palette of this grand cru. The cold allows new fragrances to express themselves in a dazzling and utterly intoxicating way.
