ORCHIDÉE BLEUE®
(except holidays and weekend)
(MasterCard, CB, Visa, PayPal)
in Metropolitan France
This new harvest comes from a small garden in the heart of « The Hill of Peace ». A fertile region, abounding in fruit and grain plantations, the terroir gives rise to a wonder that rivals the best of the Blue Teas of China and Formosa, both aesthetically and aromatically.
Presented in a Mariage Frères black pouch.
Description
Dried leaves : Hand crafted into jade-coloured pearls, the young leaves are like precious, porcelain jewels. A supple aroma of longan honey precedes a fruitiness dominated by white mango, highlighted by a hint of kaffir lime zest.
Infused leaves : A unique ensemble of blossoming buds recall an orchid, elegantly expressed through precious wisps of agarwood and an intoxicating fragrance of absinthe. The finale is balanced by a subtle filigree of golden spelt bread, fresh from the oven.
Liqueur : In a golden, crystalline robe the liqueur caresses the palate with finesse, its gentle roundness like a lychee jam flavoured with lemongrass. An airy, floral note lingers like a bouquet of blooming peonies.
Rare and irresistible.
