Tokyo Night Green Tea

Tokyo Night is a promise: a fragrant cup where the freshness of scented green teas meets the softness of flowers and the lusciousness of lychee. A blend crafted for lovers of lychee tea, rose lychee tea and floral flavors that carry you from morning to evening.

This creation brings together three complementary green teas, jasmine flowers, rose petals and natural honey and rose aromas. The result is a clear, luminous infusion, at once fresh and enveloping, equally enjoyable hot or over ice. Explore our selection of scented green teas to keep the journey going.

The Aromatic Profile of Tokyo Night

On the top note, the scent of jasmine rises the moment you open the pouch: a pure, almost heady fragrance carried by whole flowers woven through the jasmine green tea.

In the heart, rose arrives with quiet grace. The petals unfold a rounded floral note, deepened by a natural rose aroma that adds elegance and depth to the cup.

On the finish, lychee reveals its exotic, juicy sweetness, lingering alongside a gentle hint of honey. The Sencha brings its grassy freshness, while the Chun Mee signs off with a subtly woody finish. Genuinely indulgent, yet never heavy.

Looking for something more purely floral? You may also enjoy our organic Imperial Jasmine green tea, an ideal companion for lovers of white-flower teas.

How to Brew Tokyo Night

A great scented green tea comes down to a few simple steps. Here is the method we recommend to bring out every note of this infusion.

• Water: low-mineral, heated to 70-80°C. Any hotter and the leaves scorch, letting bitterness take over.
• Quantity: 12 to 15 g per liter, or roughly 2 heaped teaspoons for a 500 ml teapot.
• Steeping time: 2 to 3 minutes. Taste at 2 minutes and steep a little longer if you prefer more body.
• Accessories: a glass or porcelain teapot lets you enjoy the golden hue and the petals as they unfurl.

For an iced version, steep 1 teaspoon per 250 ml in cold water in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then strain. Serve in a tall glass with a few ice cubes: a floral iced tea, perfect for summer. For more inspiration, see our guide to green tea and the best ways to prepare it.

This infusion pairs beautifully with a morning pastry or a dessert made with exotic fruits. Let this blend turn an ordinary break into something worth savoring.

Storage

Keep your leaves away from light, moisture and strong odors, in an airtight opaque tin. Scented green teas are best enjoyed within 12 months of opening, to preserve the delicacy of the flowers and natural aromas at their finest. Blended in our workshop, this tea retains its aromatic brilliance from the first cup to the last.
