Namring Upper Majesty

Description

« Tea from beyond the skies »

The celebrated garden of Namring was created in 1855 by the British. Cultivated at 1,525 meters in altitude, this cru is harvested from an absolutely magnificent and prestigious parcel of land. Ample sunlight and pure water from the Himalayas provoke the formation of tasty buds and hence the crafting of this grand millesime. The remarkable character of Namring’s terroir and the admirable work of the planters associated with the unique savoir-faire of Mariage Frères give rise to a rich splendor of lunar velvety shades.

The ‘Darjeeling Nouveau’ Collection, created by Mariage Frères: an early-bird special, this tea is delivered from the tea garden to the cup.

Dried leaves: The pure white of the buds, like the eternal snows of the Himalayas, reflects off of the velvety surface of the young shoots, revealing beautiful shades of green, soft and soothing. This harvest is dazzling in its refinement and elegance.

Infused leaves: The sunny notes of vineyard peach and canary melon transport us to delicious fragrances of yuzu flavoured marshmallow

Liquor: The absolute brilliance of this liqueur, with its noble tones of golden beryl, brightens the cup. It exudes a suave aroma of mimosa and rosehip jam. The palate is charmed by a silky, infinitely subtle texture, blending the fruitiness of jujube with the liveliness of goji berry.
