Hooray for summer! Summer is an escape from our daily lives. A delightful escape that lets us switch off, recharge our batteries and spend time with others. It is also a treat for the senses: we can surround ourselves with nature, appreciate the fresh air in the early morning, bite into sun-ripened fruit, rediscover the benefits of a siesta, and more. Summer also allows us to spend time with others. We set off together on summer adventures, change our pace of life and adopt different ways for a short but wonderful moment. It is a special time when we can share the pleasures of summer with tea.

Healthy, flavorsome drinks for summer Summer is an opportunity to discover new pleasures. Teas and herbal teas, which we usually enjoy hot for comfort, bring us new flavors and iced drinks in warmer weather.
Tea can be savored in many ways. In our culture, we mainly drink it in cold weather, for a warming break. But in other countries, where it is hot, tea is also drunk very hot, as well as cool and iced. The Tuareg drink mint tea in the desert, Indians savor boiling hot chai, while other cultures are drawn to the fresh, thirst-quenching delights of an iced tea, from bubble tea in Taiwan to frappés made with crushed ice in the United States. Healthy and delicious, iced tea offers many advantages in the summer. Naturally low in sugar, it makes an excellent alternative to fizzy drinks and is low in theine. Because theine is not very soluble in water at room temperature, cold infusions reduce its concentration. This means iced tea can be enjoyed day and evening, and children will find it delicious too. There are also herbal teas that are ideal served iced, such as Gardens, which are richer in flavor than traditional infusions. This collection of herbal teas offers generous blends of fruit, plants and flowers, delivering bold flavors that will delight young and old. The best way to make iced tea It is very easy to prepare an iced tea or infusion. The secret lies in the infusion time, which must suit the type of tea being used. The water should be at room temperature. For a flavored tea, leave to infuse for 30 minutes in a carafe, or a little longer for a pronounced flavor. A single-origin tea will require infusing for an hour. Herbal teas such as Gardens can be left for an hour or the whole night for a very intense flavor, with no bitterness at all.

The quantity is also important. For ½ litre of iced drink, use around 8g (0.3oz) of flavoured tea, 4-5g (0.2oz) of single-origin tea, or 10-15g (0.30.5oz) of an herbal infusion. To make life easier, you can use the large tea bags designed specially for preparing iced teas and infusions for the whole family. A day of iced tea Iced tea is so easy to prepare that you can enjoy it throughout the day during the summer. We suggest you to try New Vithanakande, a Sri Lankan black tea with a honey fragrance. It is perfect in the morning when relaxing in the garden. Then, a Japanese green tea with woody notes, Bancha Hojicha, prepared iced, can be taken on a picnic. Later, sweet Tropical garden with exotic fruits for the children’s tea (and parents's too!), or a fresh, delicious cocktail in the early evening with Thé des Alizés, a green tea with notes of peach and exotic fruits. Add your own touch of creativity! To give these cool drinks a personal touch, be guided by your taste buds and add pieces of fruit, mint or basil, vanilla, petals, or cane sugar. You can also infuse the tea in lemonade instead of water, and treat yourself to a sweet yet healthful drink. To inspire you, Palais des Thés has created four easy recipes for you to try – see opposite! You can find more recipes on palaisdesthes.com/gourmet-recipes

Japan is the only country that consumes most of the tea it produces, which is not enough for the whole population.
Lighted is filtered out over Gyokuro leaves to produce more chlorophyll.
Living with tea in Japan Japan is surprising, intriguing and fascinating in so many ways. Its green tea, the only tea color in the country, is very different from other green teas around the world. The way it is consumed is also different, split between pure tradition and extreme modernity.
Green teas in Japan Green tea goes back a very long way in Japanese culture, and is associated with wellbeing. It is produced in a special and unique way. Unlike other green teas around the world, those from Japan are not processed in the traditional Chinese way. They undergo a specific roasting process using a jet of steam. The leaves, instead of being toasted in a burning hot pan, are briefly fired in an oven in a process similar to steaming. The Japanese consider this technique more harmonious and respectful of the leaf. This steaming method results in a tea with an instantly recognisable flavor that is vegetal and fresh, with iodine notes that evoke cooked vegetables, shellfish, seaweed and fish flesh, depending on the tea.
Unique and varied teas Gyokuro (1) which means “dewdrop”: Harvested just once a year, Gyokuro is one of the most prestigious and expensive Japanese green teas in the world. Three weeks before harvest, the planters cover the tea bushes with sheets or bamboo straw to filter out the light, allowing the leaves to produce much more chlorophyll. This technique gives Gyokuro an incomparable flavor, but also a smooth, mellow texture. Matcha (2): This is the only tea whose leaves are ground into a powder, and which is consumed beaten and not infused. It is traditionally used in the tea ceremony: the Cha No Yu. It is beaten with a whisk in a bowl instead of being infused in a teapot. Invigorating and powerful, it is ideal after a very sweet dish, which will reduce the tea’s intense bitterness. It is also used widely in cooking. Sencha (3): Very popular in Japan, this green tea accounts for 80% of the country’s tea production. There is a great variety of Senchas and a wide range in prices. The most precious, called Shincha, is harvested in the spring*. After being steam roasted, the leaves are folded to resemble little flat needles. Senchas can be recognised by their fresh, lively aromas.
1
Tamaryokucha (4): This is prepared in the same way as Sencha except that the leaves are rolled, not folded, which gives it a beautiful dark green color. This fragrant, subtle tea is milder than most Japanese teas, and has a more supple, rounder texture.
2
Bancha: Bancha can be translated as “common tea”. It is made from lower, larger leaves than Sencha, and is not folded as precisely. It is very interesting when toasted – Bancha Hojicha (5) – and acquires a brown color and lovely woody aroma with a slightly sweet flavor. It is very thirst-quenching and is drunk at mealtimes with fish, and in the evening as it is low in theine. Genmaicha (6): This is an amazing blend of Bancha and toasted rice, also very thirst-quenching and ideal served with savory food. It is consumed hot and iced, to enjoy its vegetal, iodine and toasted cereal aromas. It has a certain popcorn flavor to it.

Tea in Japan
Drinking tea in Japan Japan is a fascinating country, and its people have their own particular ways of consuming tea. It wavers between a great respect for tradition, and modernity taken to an extreme.
Discovering traditions In Japan, drinking tea can sometimes acquire an almost religious aspect. More than a lifestyle, it is a belief system that came out of Buddhism, based on the admiration of beauty in contrast with the vulgarity of everyday existence. This philosophy developed into a traditional ceremony that is conducted according to very rigid criteria, the Cha No Yu, which literally means “hot water for tea”. It takes place in a special place decorated in a very simple, clean style. This understatement is an expression of true beauty for the Japanese, in which a series of precise and choreographed gestures is rigorously observed. The ritual lasts between one and four hours. The all-encompassing attention to detail throughout the ceremony has considerably influenced the Japanese way of life. Learning about this traditional art is key to understanding Japanese culture and society. Over the centuries, the Japanese have developed accessories suited to drinking their green teas, such as the kyusu. This is a small teapot, traditionally made from clay or porcelain. It contains a small mesh that holds in the leaves, and has a hollow handle on the side for ease of handling. It can sometimes contain 36 cl, although the cups used hold just 10 cl. Sometimes, a pot is also used, call the yuzamashi, for cooling the water before pouring it over the leaves. This is because the higher the quality of tea, the lower the water temperature should be to obtain the best infusion. In Japan, flavor and texture are essential elements of the country's cuisine. Traditionally, Japanese tea should have a good balance between the bitter, acidic and umami flavors. Umami means “delicious” in Japanese. It is described as a pleasant, mild sensation that lingers in the mouth. It can be found in some fish, bread, and soy sauce. The finest Japanese teas are drunk in three successive infusions; each one brings out one of the three flavors. The kyusu aids this tasting method by ensuring the water temperature is low enough for the infusion.

Tea at the heart of the modern world In Japan, tea is also consumed on a daily basis. People usually drink Bancha or Hojicha in restaurants, and a refined Gyokuro or Sencha in small groups. Tea is such a big part of Japanese culture that there are two terms to refer to it: “o cha” for Japanese green tea, as opposed to “ko cha” which denotes all other (non Japanese) teas, such as black tea, oolong and flavored teas. Tea plays a central role in daily life in the country. In fact most tea produced by Japan is consumed by its own people. To meet demand, the Japanese have had to invest in China, Indonesia and Vietnam where they produce teas such as Sencha using their own methods. On the archipelago, teas are not always labelled if they are imported, meaning that a lot of the tea consumed there has not actually been produced on Japanese soil. At Palais des Thés we select and buy our Japanese green teas directly from growers in the country.

Lorem ispum dolor estis Tea in Japan: pure tradition...
... and modernity.
... everyday life... Rooted in a very modern country, tea is evolving with the times, without breaking from tradition. In Japanese cuisine, for example, Matcha has been a great success. With both sweet and savory dishes, it makes an ideal natural (green) coloring and imparts a delicious aroma. In restaurants, vanilla ice cream can be served sprinkled with Matcha, and you can buy Matcha granitas from street vendors. It is also blended with salt to create a delicious condiment. Tea is even used to make tea-flavored sweets and chewing gum.
The Japanese are exploring this ingredient even further, and today offer incredible and unique packaging and distribution methods. In supermarkets, you will find an impressive array of tea products on the shelves, while in the streets and public places, vending machines distribute tea in cans! Millions of Japanese slip a coin into the slot every day so they can drink a can of tea as they go about their lives.

Tasting notes Darjeeling - Namring Upper DJ 12 "Clonal AV2" SFTGFOP1 Origin: Darjeeling Color: black tea Water temperature: 85°C / 185°F Infusion time: 3’45 Quantity for the teapot: 6g (0.2oz) for 30 cl
Ref.002A15. In Teesta Valley, the prestigious garden of Namring has been well known for more than 150 years for its exceptional teas, including AV2, one of our favourite varieties. This plucking showcases the full aromatic potential of AV2 leaves, which here produce a spectacular fruity, floral bouquet. This is one of our best finds for spring 2015! Dried leaf: Appearance: rolled leaves with plenty of large downy buds. Color: silver and green. Aroma: fresh fruit notes (yellow fruit, apricot, mango, peach) combined with sweet accents of stewed fruit, vanilla and butter. Infusion: Aroma: the pronounced floral start is deployed with vanilla, pronounced almond and pronounced fruit notes. These are followed by more vegetal, aniseed notes. Liquor: Color: a clear, gleaming yellow liquor. Texture: very smooth, thick and full to start. This is followed by a delicate astringency that develops at the back of the mouth, giving this tea an incredible lingering finish. Flavor: sweet, slightly umami and acidic. Aroma: the pronounced floral start offers notes of white flowers, honeysuckle, rose and orange blossom. These are followed by very sweet aromas of vanilla, butter and almond, as well as lovely yellow fruit scents. These evolve over the very floral note at the start, while a lively and delicate freshness develops and lingers, with vegetal and aniseed accents. Aromatic profile and length in the mouth: intense and complex from the start, with a harmonious succession of notes. The finish in the mouth develops remarkably over vegetal, aniseed and floral notes. Our opinion: this exceptional Namring Upper DJ 12 stands out due to the complexity and richness of its floral and particularly fruity notes. Its astonishing vegetal finish, with camphorous hints, makes this an unmissable tea for connoisseurs of first-flush Darjeelings. A brilliant success, not to be missed!
