The aromatic profile of Fruity Paradise
Up front, pineapple and papaya deliver a juicy, exotic opening that feels almost tropical. The heart unfolds into velvety apricot and ripe strawberry, with a bright blueberry note that adds depth and lift to the whole.
Rose and mallow petals bring a delicate, almost floral finish. The Sencha's aroma lingers at the base of the cup, with its signature herbal freshness. The balance is indulgent without being sweet, fruity without excess: an essential brew for lovers of soft, sun-warmed flavours.

How to brew Fruity Paradise green tea
Use 12 to 15 g of leaves per litre of water, roughly a heaped teaspoon per cup. Heat the water to 70-80°C: water that is too hot will scorch the Sencha leaves and bring out unwanted bitterness. Filtered, low-mineral water works best.
Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, no longer. Strain and enjoy as it is, without sugar or milk, to let the fruit notes shine through. A second infusion is possible: simply extend the steeping time slightly.
For an iced version, double the leaves and cold-brew in the refrigerator for 4 hours: the perfect summer drink, served over ice with a few fresh strawberry slices. To go further, visit our guide to green tea. Try this blend as part of your daily ritual.
Storage
Store the leaves in an airtight, opaque tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Proper storage preserves the natural fruit aromas for up to 18 months after opening. Avoid the refrigerator, where condensation can damage the leaves.
