Grands Crus Tea pluckers in China's Fujian province

The afternoon is a sunny one, and François-Xavier is wearing a happy grin. It's not the warmth in the air that has him smiling, though; it's a tea, a Taiwanese Grand Cru known as Oriental Beauty. “This is one of the finest teas from Taiwan,” he beams. “What makes it unique is an insect bite to the leaf, which then needs to be plucked before it breaks down. It's been six years since I bought any—the tea just didn't have that quality I loved anymore.

This season, the harvest is superb again.” It's not unusual that François-Xavier's supplier of Oriental Beauty had the patience to keep sending him samples year after year: the tea expert has developed close, loyal relationships with the planters. To him, each tea conjures images of faces and landscapes. Every month and a half, he spends two weeks traveling to meet these artisans. “I don't come from a family of tea professionals,” he explains, “so I've learned almost everything I know from these passionate growers, by meeting them, asking questions, and listening to them.

That's how I started, and it's still how I work today.”

In Search of the Exceptional For 30 years, François-Xavier Delmas* has been crisscrossing the globe in search of Grands Crus. Each of the teas he selects is of the finest quality—and comes with a story.

What does the world of tea look like to a man of insatiable curiosity?

Grands Crus When I started working there, I was 25 years old. Things were still very closed; the state controlled everything.

I was in contact with export managers who didn't speak English and had young people with them who not only served as interpreters, but also knew a whole lot about tea.

When the country opened its doors, these same young people bought farms to start growing and processing

with as many as 150 a day during the high season from March to September. But François-Xavier never tires of it and remains as curious as ever. He still marvels at the meticulous work of some of his contacts, like Yunseok Cho from Korea: “He is the only one who can make a Jukro of this quality. He produces only a hundred kilos a year, and Palais des Thés buys a third of that.” François‑Xavier is equally enthusiastic about a premium-grade golden tip tea from Yunnan: “The Yunnan region is the birthplace of tea. I consider China to be a very important country.

He receives more and more samples these days, which he always tastes blind to avoid being influenced—justifiably— by his relationships with his suppliers. This enables him

to discover new professionals who deserve his full attention. Still, he simply cannot sell their teas until he meets them in person. “There are very few experts in this field in the world. Only about 20 people have established this type of contacts, so naturally, when we go somewhere new, people give us advice and guidance. And that's how my network expands.” And it does take an exceptional network to offer Grands Crus in 50 boutiques. After all, a Grand Cru is defined not only by its flavour aspects, but also its rarity and seasonality. There's no way to predict whether these teas, produced in small quantities, will

Grands Crus FARTHER AN D FARTHER AFIELD… François-Xavier's search for Palais des Thés Grands Crus leads him to further corners of the globe each year, from famed regions like Darjeeling in India and Uji in Japan to others that are lesser known… for now. “Palais des Thés is the third-largest buyer of teas in Nepal,” says François‑Xavier. “When I first got interested in these Grands Crus, about ten years ago, there were just three plantations in one valley. Then 15 more sprang up in

teas that don't interest me at all may also make small batches of something exceptional.” François-Xavier never tires of his favourite teas—he could talk for hours about an antique Dong Ding, a Taiwanese Grand Cru with roasted leaves: “Originally, the tea was roasted to preserve it from the humid climate, but this traditional approach also gives rise to some truly remarkable fruity, woody, toasted, and liquorice notes.” With the sun starting to set, François-Xavier glances out the window, perhaps already thinking of his next voyage. On his desk sit both volumes of his tea bible, William H. Ukers's All About Tea, packed with maps and information about the history of tea in the 19th century, providing inspiration and trails to explore in search of new Grands Crus.

Tea tasting in Nepal

Rare Ephemeral Artisanal Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower.

Meticulously plucked, processed and sourced in the most respected tea gardens, our Grands Crus unveil unique flavours that reflect the refinement of their origins.

Selection of Grands Crus Exceptional teas PUTTABONG DJ 8 « CLONAL » QUEEN S.F.T.G.F.O.P.1 EXCLUSIVE At the Puttabong Tea Estate, « Clonal Queen » refers to the finest grade of tea, composed mostly of tips plucked exclusively from AV2 tea bushes. This exceptional harvest has earned its prestigious name and is unquestionably one of this spring’s best teas. Particularly aromatic, this Grand Cru immediately demands attention with its intense toasted and grassy notes.

Floral notes follow, ultimately giving way to sweet accents of brioche and vanilla. A real journey for the senses and a musthave for the 2017 season.

The famed garden's « China » tea bushes are sought after by tea enthusiasts the world over and set the standard for quality each year. This harvest offers a remarkable depth of flavour: its delicate floral bouquet is set off by fresh grassy, fruity, and vanilla notes.

Spring 2017 Darjeeling selection

12 •

Each year, tea connoisseurs eagerly await the Darjeeling spring flush, considered as the “champagne of teas”. These early harvests of Darjeeling have a unique flavour profile, with a fresh, vibrant bouquet featuring intense floral and grassy notes.

This year's long wait has paid off—the 2017 harvest is finally in, bringing with it some truly superb teas.

GOOMTEE DJ 1 CLONAL F.T.G.F.O.P.1 For the second year running, Goomtee, a little-known Darjeeling tea estate, has impressed us with a particularly high-quality harvest. The result of meticulous handiwork, it stands out for its harmonious balance of floral/grassy and buttery/toasted notes. These varied and intense notes are tied together by a subtle astringency, developing a very refreshing feel in the mouth. A completely novel taste experience.

This harvest from Longview Tea Estate is extremely fresh, with floral, camphor, and then fruity notes over an intensely grassy base. Its texture, deliciously velvety at first, gradually develops a subtle astringency. This Grand Cru is a perfect introduction to spring flush teas.

Ringtong Tea Garden has captivated us once again with this Grand Cru, an eagerly anticipated return years after its previous release. This tea stands out from the typical spring flush for its unusual spicy notes. Its mild, harmonious brew will delight novices and connoisseurs alike.

Texture: smooth and mellow initially, then coating the mouth with a subtle astringency.

Taste: a touch sweet and subtly tart.

Flavours: floral (rose), zest, herbs, grassy, fruity (lychee, citrus), vanilla, fresh almond.

Flavour profile and length in the mouth: extremely vibrant, harmonious opening with zesty rose and herb notes. A beautifully lingering finish then develops, with fruit, vanilla, and almond notes over a delicate sweet-tart background.

Our opinion: This exceptional harvest offers a delightfully sophisticated and refreshing experience. The grassy, rose, and zest notes develop and play off one another deliciously. A subtle astringency further enhances the tea's complex flavours. A musthave for anyone who loves first flush Darjeelings.

Recipe

Summer Mood THE THÉOPHILE CARD Co-founder of elegant, nautically themed Parisian bar CopperBay, Aurélie Panhelleux invented a recipe exclusively for Palais des Thés based on the new Andalusian garden herbal tea.

How did you get interested in inventing cocktails?

After I finished culinary school, I gravitated to bartending as a profession. In the kitchen, I learned the art of pairing and seasoning, and pastry-making taught me how to balance measurements. I have a real passion for unexpected combinations, mixology—making cocktails is like gourmet cooking.

The Théophile card gives you access to a number of benefits, available on our website, mail-order purchases and in Palais des Thés stores: - enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases for one year (except books: maximum legal discount of 5% applies), - t ake advantage of preferential rates for a number of special offers and receive exclusive gifts, - receive our Bruits de Palais newsletter, giving you a sneak preview into new teas and keeping you up-to-date with the latest tea-related news.

By spending €80 on loose tea in the year, you automatically renew the benefits of your card for the following year.

What does it take to invent a great cocktail?

I reflect on my recent travels. Art and perfume are also sources of inspiration when I'm creating my cocktails.

Important: each time you visit the shop, remember to present your Théophile Card so that your purchases can be recorded. For your orders on the Internet, register your card in your customer account. For your orders by post, write your card number on your order form.

Where did you find the inspiration for the Andalusia cocktai l?

When I tasted Andalusian garden, it immediately brought to mind one of my trips to Andalusia. The flavours of this new herbal tea are a real journey for the senses. It evokes various scents, like citrus, orange blossoms, and herbs, as well as the region's fresh and tart flavours. I really enjoyed being able to create something based on Andalusian garden, to help tea enthusiasts extend that journey just a little bit longer.

A te a-i n f u s e d co c k t a i l FOR EACH GLASS: • 2.5 tsp (15 g) Palais des Thés Andalusian garden herbal tea • 4 cl (1 1/3 oz) Orgeat syrup • 3 cl (1 oz) Aperol • 1 cl (1/3 oz) Suze Saveur d'Autrefois Liqueur • 2 cl (2/3 oz) Lillet Blanc • 0.5 cl (1/6 oz) Crèmede Pêche • 2 cl (2/3 oz) Ginger Beer

18 •

STEEP THE HERBAL TEA

MIX THE COCKTAIL

This recipe is designed to make more herbal tea than the cocktail requires • Steeped herbal tea can be kept in the refrigerator for 72 hours • To prepare the herbal tea, use 2.5 teaspoons of Andalusian garden in 7 oz (20 cl) of water • Steep at 90°C for 5 minutes, then strain thoroughly • Let cool.

Fill each glass with 3 cl Aperol, 1 cl Suze Saveur d'Autrefois Liqueur, 2 cl Lillet Blanc and then 0.5 cl Crème de Pêche • Add 4 cl Orgeat syrup, 3 cl steeped herbal tea, and finally 2 cl ginger beer • Stir gently to preserve the fizz in the ginger beer • Add a straw and garnish by arranging an orange slice, and a sprinkle of Andalusian garden for a beverage that looks as good as it tastes!
