SHUI HSIEN SUPREME
This distinguished Shui Hsien (meaning « Water Sprite ») Suprême makes for a fantastic addition to an expansive Blue Tea menu. Issued from a parcel of land containing centuries-old tea bushes, this new tea is composed exclusively of young leaves harvested by hand. Once brought down to the family’s atelier, the leaves are worked according to a time-honoured tradition and generously oxidised then heated at high temperature. This choice cru is thus born, rare and generous, for a unique tasting of infinite pleasure. Dried leaves: The young, slender and twisted leaves in shades of mahogany and ebony exhale succulent aromas of ginger caramel and candied jackfruit Infused leaves: Sparkling carmine. A perfume of roasted chestnut and poppy flower candy. Liquor: Coppery amaranth. Notes of black nougat and redcurrant jam combine in this silky cup. The soft, airy sensation of marshmallow dances with a hint of myrrh recalling subtle, eastern aromas. Bucolic and sensational.
Presented in a Mariage Frères black pouch.
