The Aromatic Profile of Christmas Sencha

The moment you open the bag, the scent takes you somewhere: bright orange zest, warming cinnamon, a whisper of clove. The liquor, a luminous yellow, opens with the clean, fresh attack that is so characteristic of sencha.

The mid-palate blooms with sweet almond and apple, lifted by rose petals and buds that add a delicate floral note. Vanilla rounds everything out on the finish, leaving a warm, almost pastry-like softness in the mouth.

  • Top notes: orange, cinnamon, clove
  • Heart notes: almond, apple, rose
  • Base notes: vanilla, vegetal sencha

If you enjoy spiced and vanilla-forward blends, continue the tasting with our vanilla cinnamon green tea, another indulgent take on sencha.

How to Brew Christmas Sencha

The secret to a great cup lies in soft water and a careful eye on temperature. Sencha brewed too hot turns bitter: keep to 75-80°C to preserve its vegetal finesse and let the spices come through fully.

  • Dosage: 12 to 15 g per litre, roughly one heaped teaspoon per cup
  • Temperature: 75-80°C, ideally checked with a temperature-controlled kettle
  • Steep time: 2 to 3 minutes, adjusted to your taste
  • Accessories: glass or porcelain teapot, fine-mesh filter to capture all the pieces

Serve it plain in the morning to enjoy its freshness, or make an afternoon ritual of it alongside a slice of gingerbread or a cinnamon shortbread. For guidance on when to drink green tea, take a look at our dedicated guide.

Storage

Keep your Christmas Sencha in its original airtight tin, away from light, moisture and strong kitchen aromas. Packed in our workshop, it retains its full fragrance for up to 18 months after opening when stored this way.
