How to brew:
Tea: 1 heaped teaspoon | Water temp: 85°C | Brewing Time: 3-5 minutes.
Method:
To experience the spring-fresh character and subtle rose hints of this "avant-garde" green tea, start by bringing filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil for food safety. Allow the water to cool to 85°C before placing one slightly heaped teaspoon of loose tea for every 200–260ml of water into your teapot. Pour the water over the leaves, cover, and allow to infuse for 3 to 5 minutes. While the tea can be steeped for up to 7 minutes for a stronger taste, we recommend increasing the amount of tea leaves rather than the steeping time to avoid bitterness.
Goes well with:
This tea is best enjoyed without additions to fully appreciate its delicate floral character.
Pro tip:
If you find regular green tea a bit too 'grassy' or bitter, this is your perfect match. The sweet cherry and rose notes make it incredibly approachable and fragrant. The secret? Never use boiling water. Let your kettle sit for two minutes after boiling before pouring. This protects the delicate leaves, ensuring your tea tastes like a sweet spring garden rather than a bitter herb.
