The Aromatic Profile of Christmas Sencha

The moment you open the bag, the scent carries you away: bright orange zest, warm cinnamon, a hint of clove. The liquor, a luminous yellow, opens with the crisp freshness that is the hallmark of a good sencha.

The heart unfolds into sweet almond and apple, lifted by rose petals and buds that add a delicate floral touch. Vanilla rounds everything out in the finish, leaving a smooth, almost pastry-like sweetness on the palate.

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

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

How to Brew Christmas Sencha

The key to a perfect cup lies in soft water and a controlled temperature. Sencha steeped too hot turns bitter: keep to 75-80°C to preserve its vegetal finesse and let the spices fully express themselves.

  • Quantity: 12 to 15 g per liter, roughly one heaped teaspoon per cup
  • Temperature: 75-80°C, ideally checked with a variable-temperature kettle
  • Steeping time: 2 to 3 minutes, adjusted to your taste
  • Accessories: glass or porcelain teapot, fine-mesh filter to catch all the botanicals

Enjoy it plain in the morning to savor its freshness, or make it an afternoon ritual alongside a slice of gingerbread or a cinnamon shortbread. To find out when to drink green tea, visit our dedicated guide.

Storage

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