The Flavour Profile of Mojito Green Tea
The nose opens with an immediate, almost fizzy freshness, carried by lemon peel and lime. Peppermint follows, bright and effervescent, instantly evoking the signature note of the original cocktail.
On the palate, the liquor is clear and luminous. The organic Sencha unfolds its gentle, slightly herbal sweetness with no bitterness. Lemongrass extends the coolness, while a quiet hint of vanilla softens everything together. Marigold petals add no pronounced flavour of their own, but bring a beautiful visual touch to the blend.
This is a generous cup built from carefully chosen ingredients, playing on contrast: the mellowness of green tea, the zest of lime, the coolness of mint. An ideal brew for those seeking a lively, alcohol-free infusion that feels summery even in the depths of winter.

How to Brew Mojito Green Tea
Brewing follows the approach of Japanese green teas: soft or filtered water heated to between 70 and 80°C, never boiling. Water that is too hot will scorch the Sencha leaves and draw out unnecessary bitterness.
Use 12 to 15 g of leaves per litre, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a 500 ml teapot. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, no longer: peppermint and lime release their essential oils quickly, and a longer infusion can make the cup taste overly vegetal.
Iced version (homemade mojito tea): use the same quantity of leaves in one litre of cold water, place in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours, then strain. Serve over crushed ice with a slice of fresh lime and a few mint leaves. A wonderfully refreshing drink, perfect as an alcohol-free aperitif alternative.
Variations: add a dash of agave syrup to sweeten, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten the tang. Some people love adding a splash of sparkling water for a convincing cocktail effect. Try the Mojito green tea blended over ice at your next summer gathering.
Storage
Store the leaves in their original tin or in an airtight container, away from light, moisture, and strong odours. A dry, cool, and opaque space will preserve the aromas for around 18 months. Avoid the refrigerator, as condensation can form on the leaves when the container is opened.
