We can’t ait for autumn!

It is with great pleasure that we bring you this latest issue after the lockdown, a time when everything came to a halt, when we had to change our habits and adapt to a new way of living. We imagine that many of you, like us, realised how important it is to take time for yourself, focus on the essentials, and take a break occasionally. But we also realised just how much we need to be surrounded by our loved ones, sharing emotions and experiences and simply being together.

Tea creates these moments of calm and tranquility in our lives, moments suspended in time that help us savour and appreciate the present. They are so very precious.

Tea also fosters the connection that we so badly need in our daily lives. Sitting down together over a cup of tea is a universal custom that transcends continents and centuries. Join us and carry on the tradition!

We invite you to approach this autumn with a sense of calm, taking time for tea and sharing it with those nearest and dearest to you.

GROW ING AN D MAN U FACTU R ING R EGIONS Yerba mate is a species of the holly genus whose Latin name is Ilex paraguariensis. Native to South America, the tree needs a subtropical climate, humidity, and plenty of sunshine to grow. It is grown in four countries: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

To make mate, the leaves are first heated to stop oxidation, then coarsely chopped and stored for several months to concentrate their flavours. Finally, they are graded and mixed.

Preparing mate traditionally in a gourd: mate cebado PR EPAR ATION: STEP BY STEP To prepare your mate using the “cebado” method, you will need two traditional utensils: a gourd and a bombilla. The gourd is a descendant of the hollow calabash gourds used by the Guarani, while the bombilla is a sort of straw with small holes in its closed end so that you can sip the beverage without getting leaves in your mouth.

Note that a “gourd” may be a hollowed-out calabash or a vessel made of other materials.

A traditional calabash gourd must be cured before use.

1 2

Fill your gourd 2/3 full with mate leaves.

Cover the opening with your hand and turn the gourd over to shake out the mate dust.

2. Tilt the gourd so that the mate leaves fall to one side.

3

3. Straighten it again and insert the bombilla on the empty side.

4. Add hot water at 80°C (175°F) and steep.

Enjoy your mate once the water has cooled.

Steep again and again!

STAINLESS STEEL CALABASH REF. W745.

BOMBILLA REF. W746.

ADVANTAGE S OF THE G OUR D METHOD This traditional method of preparing mate is a timehonoured ritual in South America, where groups of friends sit in a circle and pass the gourd around.

The cebador (a person who prepares mate cebado) is responsible for the first steeping, checking that the water is at the right temperature and that the right quantity of mate leaves has been used. This timehonoured friendly tradition is still popular in South America today, and it has also been adopted around the world, in part through the inf luence of football teams from the region.

In addition to its strong roots in local culture, this traditional method offers two advantages: - drinking highly concentrated mate provides you with the full, intensive benefits of the plant.

- you can reuse the same leaves all day long until the f lavour is exhausted. This makes it a very affordable option.

ADVANTAGE S OF THE TEAPOT METHOD To prepare your mate in a traditional teapot, you will need to pay careful attention to three factors: quantity of leaves, water temperature, and steeping time.

MATE IN OUR DETOX Mate has also found its way into some of our flavoured blends, like Brazilian Detox.

This delicious blend combines the invigorating benefits of green tea, mate, açai & guarana with the sweet-tart flavour of passion fruit.

For a 1-liter teapot, add 15 grams of mate to a large paper filter. Pour water at 80°C (175°F) over the leaves and let steep for 5 minutes.

Did you kno ?

Mate contains more caffeine than tea, but less than coffee.

It offers health benefits as well: • it is rich in minerals (potassium and magnesium), making it a valuable dietary supplement; • as a good source of chlorogenic acid (a powerful antioxidant), it is a natural appetite suppressant, making it an effective weight loss aid.

book called In search tea.

ALWAYS STARTING OVER AGAIN Rwanda • 19 October 2018 When I’m searching for premium teas, I look at what the farmers and plantations I already know are producing. I also look for new farms, sometimes in new regions, sometimes in new countries. Sourcing premium teas means starting over again every time. When it comes to rare and exceptional teas, there’s no guarantee that a reputable producer will be able to make a tea as amazing as the previous year. You must try the teas, blind, so you’re not influenced by the prestige of a name or your goodwill towards a farmer. And sometimes you have to pack your bags and set out on an adventure. Rwanda, for example, can produce some very good teas, and is one of the countries I intend to return to soon and explore different plantations.

“I had long dreamt of a career that would take — QUEST

IN SEARCH OF TEA

How much longer will tea be harvested by hand in India, where there is ongoing conflict over employment conditions? The pickers are justified in demanding pay rises, but the plantations are only just profitable, and some are even loss-making. Tea is already sold at a high price without benefiting local populations. Do we risk seeing mechanical harvesting replace manual picking due to a lack of workers? And what will be the consequences on quality? Or are we moving towards plantations being turned into co-operatives so that everyone has a stake in them and can live decently on their wages? These questions have not yet been answered.

Thés, and my job became my passion. And I gave it a name: tea hunter.”

Mrs Ming In the world of tea, Mrs Ming is very unusual.

It’s rare to find a woman in charge of a tea plantation.

And not only does Mrs Ming produce some remarkable Oolong, but she is also a pioneer, having introduced the variety to the Mae Salong region. Since then, producing lightly oxidized teas in the Taiwanese style has become fashionable in this area of the Golden Triangle, on the border between Thailand and Myanmar.

Mr Rana Bahadurdiyali Mr Rana Bahadurdiyali founded a cooperative called Teenjure 24 years ago in the Ilam Valley of Nepal.

When the project began, there was no water or electricity, there were no roads, and it took two years to build the factory.

Today, Teenjure brings together an impressive 234 farmers who pool their tea leaves to produce a wide variety of very interesting teas.

Mr Kumada Mr Kumada lives with eight cats.

He grows tea on a seven-hectare plantation at the southern tip of Japan, high above the city of Kagoshima, far from everything, even the smallest village.

He took over the farm from his father. Mr Kumada is proud of his farming methods, and proud of the organic certification he has earned. He wants to protect the environment as best he can: he is responsible for it, he says.

Grands Crus Selection September 2020 The first harvests are the most eagerly anticipated by connoisseurs.

They are called Ichibancha (“first flush”) or Shincha (“new tea”).

Travel Japan’s most spectacular terroirs with six spring flush senchas hailing from the volcanic soils of Kyushu and the mountains of Shizuoka.

Please note: All the teas featured on these pages are Grands Crus harvested in very small quantities, available for a specific and limited time with no guarantee of future availability. Available until the batch has gone, these teas may suddenly go out of stock. Our selection of Grands Crus is constantly evolving and expanding as we discover new teas and gardens on our travels. To find out about new arrivals as soon as possible, please sign up for our newsletter via our website palaisdesthes.com

Exploring the terroirs of the volcanic island Three Grands Crus from the island of Kyushu made from the Saemidori cultivar.

SAEMIDORI MIYAZAKI SHINCHA A green tea from Japan harvested in the Miyazaki region, in the southern part of the archipelago. This sencha is made from the leaves of a tea plant discovered in Kyushu in 1969 and known as Saemidori. Its name means “light green”, in reference to its beautiful colour when steeped. The cultivar is also renowned for its intense umami taste.

A very accessible Ichibancha, perfect for those new to the unique flavour of Saemidori.

REF. 3067A20.

Organically farmed

SAEKARI DE MR TAKAYUKI This Shincha is made by Mr Takayuki. It comes from Osumi, a city on the island of Kyushu, and is harvested from a rare tea cultivar called Saeakari that was developed about twenty years ago from a cross with Saemidori.

Its very balanced flavour profile develops grassy and nutty notes.

This complex Grand Cru will surprise you with its contrasting notes that range from grassy to salty, with a very intense chestnut note. The subtly powdery texture of this unusual sencha helps its flavours linger in the mouth long after drinking.

REF. 3071A20.

Organically farmed

SAEMIDORI KIRISHIMA SHINCHA This Ichibancha is the work of a talented farmer by the name of Mr Nishi. It comes from Kirishima on the island of Kyushu. The tea, harvested at 350 meters above sea level, enjoys an exceptional climate with fertile soil and invigorating sea air.

Mount Kirishima is made up of volcanic craters and cones, with breathtaking lunar landscapes. The high mineral concentrations of the black soil offers rich earth for the tea plants to grow in. The cultivar was developed from Saemidori, which is renowned for its strength and flavour.

Mr Nishi takes advantages of all these qualities to produce a Grand Cru with a rich texture, an intense umami taste, and complex grassy, fruity, and salty notes.

This remarkable sencha results from the happy marriage of a terroir, a cultivar, and exceptional human expertise.

Tasting the senchas of Shizuoka Explore two Shinchas from two unique terroirs in Shizuoka: Tenryu and Tawaramine.

TENRYU ASATSUYU This sencha comes to us from Tenryu, a prestigious terroir in Shizuoka whose name means “heavenly dragon”. It is made from the Asatsuyu cultivar, a tea plant often called “natural gyokuro” in reference to its f lavour, similar to that of a shade-grown tea. This delicious tea, produced by Mr Suzuki, is characterised by a creamy texture and fresh notes that are both grassy and buttery.

REF. 3072A20.

Organically farmed

TAWARAMINE YABUKITA DE MR SHOJI Mr Shoji is back again this year with another superb sencha. It is produced in Tawaramine, in the Shizuoka region, and harvested from one of the most ancient and renowned terroirs in Japan: Hon Yama. The terroir is famed for its rich soil and the perpetual fog that shrouds the plantations, ensuring optimal growth for the tea plants. Meanwhile, their roots are nourished by the clear, pure waters of the Abe river.

The exceptional quality of the terroir is paralleled by Mr Shoji’s unique expertise: he has crafted a sencha with the greatest of care, from plucking the leaves to Hiire, or firing, the final drying of the leaves that has a decisive influence on the ultimate taste of the tea.

This Shincha is characterised by its elegance, its extremely creamy texture, and its floral, grassy, marine, and gourmand notes. With this unusually complex sencha, Mr Shoji has revealed the full potential of the Yabukita cultivar.
