Description
Sencha Sakura is a blend of sencha green tea, rose peel, rose petals, jasmine and cherry fruit, which accentuate the smooth, sweet and refreshing character of our deep-steamed Sencha.
Sakura is the ubiquitous flowering cherry tree planted in Japanese parks, along streets and within commons and yards. During late March through May, Sakura blooms across Japan.
The cherry blossom symbolizes feminine beauty, the feminine principle and love. Cherry blossoms, with their short blooming times, are believed to represent the transient nature of life.
Sencha teas are produced by steaming the tea leaves, before drying, giving them higher levels of vitamins and anti-oxidants than other green teas. Sen meaning green and cha meaning tea, sencha translates literally as ‘green tea’. It has a crisp, light refreshing taste.
Method for brewing: Place one teaspoon per cup into an infuser, filter or teapot. Switch the kettle off, before it boils, when you hear the water rumbling. Add the hot, but not boiling, water and infuse for 3 minutes. Serve immediately or remove leaves to prevent spoiling.
