Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose: A Floral Celebration of Spring
Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose showcases the finest Japanese-style green teas produced in Hunan Province. Early in the season, this tea boasts a bright emerald green hue and vibrant flavour notes. It embodies a fresh spring character with pungency and body. Moreover, the tea bushes begin to grow in March, and the quality remains exceptional until the end of April. After this period, however, the rapid growth of the bushes can compromise the tea’s flavor. That’s why we source our teas exclusively from this prime window, between March 15 and April 15.
The Ritual of Tea
Furthermore, Sencha is commonly featured in Japanese tea ceremonies, which mark significant personal events. In these ceremonies, the ritual itself holds great importance, symbolizing respect and mindfulness for the individual being honoured. Thus, this practice enriches the experience of enjoying tea, turning it into a moment of reflection and connection.
An Avant-Garde Blend
Flavoured teas have become a relatively new phenomenon, and combining the delicate flavours of rose and Japanese-style green tea is considered avant-garde by many. In addition, Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan, adds to the charm of this blend. Once the religious capital of Japan, Kyoto is home to many historic relics, including over 1,000 iconic torii gates. These large, curved structures evoke a sense of respect and well-being, setting a serene backdrop for tea enjoyment.
The Essence of Spring
During spring, Kyoto bursts into colour with cherry blossoms, filling the air with their sweet aroma. Notably, the rose petals in our Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose blend mimic the delicate essence of these cherry blossoms, capturing the enchanting scents that drift on a spring breeze. This tea not only celebrates the beauty of the season but also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of Kyoto.
A Toast to Tradition
Indulging in a cup of Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose invites you to experience a fusion of floral and green tea flavours. Additionally, the harmonious blend creates a delightful and refreshing taste, perfect for any time of day. Enjoy it hot for a comforting experience or iced for a refreshing treat during warm spring days.
Ultimately, join us at Natteas to celebrate the arrival of spring with Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose. Savour this exquisite blend and allow it to transport you to the cherry blossom-filled streets of Kyoto, where every sip feels like a moment of tranquillity.
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Milk and sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 85ºC/185ºF. For Food Safety reasons bring water to 100ºC/212ºF and let it cool down to 85ºC/185ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
