Green tea has a history that stretches back thousands of years. Today there is an almost unfathomable variety, ranging widely in shape and flavour. Green tea is kept green by halting the oxidation process very early on. Green teas tend to be light and sweet or fresh and grassy, however some exhibit rich, umami (savoury) flavours.

• Infusing juicy cherry with the flavour of light green tea, our Cherry Sencha makes a refreshing fruity tea that can also be made as a cold infusion.
• Made from the finest Chinese sencha green tea, rose petals and natural flavourings and hand-crafted by us in Edinburgh.
• We use premium quality tea leaves in every blend balancing aromas and flavours for your enjoyment
• Our Cherry Sencha is packed by hand in Edinburgh using infinitely recyclable aluminium caddies with a plastic free inner or resealable stand-up pouches
• When we started to blending our teas in house, we opted to use natural flavourings. We were slightly worried that the cherry flavour we chose didn't pack the punch of the nature identical flavour used on previous blend. We were so wrong and the resulting infusion is fresh, sweet and juicy. Our Cherry Sencha has become a staple in our flavoured green tea range.
| Ingredients: | Chinese Sencha (96%), Rose Petals, Natural Flavouring. Packed in a factory that also handles nuts. |

Jasmine Yin Hao is a top grade jasmine green tea with white tips. This tea is scented using a traditional process which involves layering the tea leaves with jasmine petals. The jasmine blossoms open at dusk, transferring their scent to the tea leaves, and this process is repeated over several nights. High quality jasmine teas such as this one have most of the jasmine blossoms removed, leaving a fresh and fragrant tea.

Kukicha consists of the stalks of the tea leaves. Kukicha infuses lighter in the cup than regular sencha and is an easy tea for first time tea drinkers. It is a very refreshing tea and is a great drink to reenergize. The stalks contain a lot of amino acids which accounts for the sweet flavour.

This high quality Sencha is a Japanese green tea, picked during the first harvest from the famous Shizuoka region. The young tender leaves provide a fruity aroma and give a delicate and sweet flavour. The fukamushi process which involves steaming the tea leaves for a longer time and at a higher temperature, breaks the cells in the leaves and allows the full aroma and flavours to come out. This tea is vacuum packed at source for extra freshness.
