NAMRING UPPER GLORY

Description

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. 

Dried leaves: Noble and elegant in appearance, the dried leaves reveal shades of mahogany and rosewood, reminiscent of the golden glow of precious woods. Their smooth and shiny surface evokes precious beeswax while coppery garnet reflections sparkle like fine stones 
in the light.

Infused leaves: When infused, the leaves take on a mesmerising ebony colour with ruby highlights, offering a captivating aroma of sultana scone and spiced vanilla. This delicate fragrance prepares the senses for a noble taste experience, evoking the shaded orchards surrounding tea gardens.

Liquor: The liqueur, brilliant amber in colour, offers a subtle bouquet of pink praline blending harmoniously with hints of gardenia pollen. The cup reveals a silky, velvety body that envelops the palate in its sweetness, revealing flavours of ripe fruits and candied angelica, like a secret whispered by the Himalayan breezes.

Cold brew:

1 - place 15g of tea in 1 litre 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.
