Lao Monsoon Tea by Mariage Freres

September 1 2017

I can't resist the beautiful calligraphy "Sa", a Lao green tea offered by famous Mariage Freres, Paris. The quality is excellent enough to be part of their offering so this makes me very proud. It's a collector tin, a celadon green canister with 100 g of scented and smoky green tea.

Description:

LAOS - Thé des Moussons

Green tea
smoky & flowery

« Les Calligraphies du Thé » collection
The word "Tea" is written in Laotian

In the heart of monsoons' Indochina, this exceptional green tea is grown in the luxuriant orchards of Laos' high plateaus.

Slowly dried over an open fire of fragrant wood, its leaves offer a flowery taste lightly smoky.

The fertile crimson soil provides an intense savour, with delightful tones of moss and ginger.

A tea symbol of hospitality.

PREPARATION TIPS :
2,5 g / 20 cl - 95°C - 3 min

It's not cheap at 25 euros the 100 grams!
