The aroma profile of Sencha Nectarine

At the top, peach bursts through, juicy and velvety, followed by the tangier edge of nectarine. The Sencha brings a fresh, herbaceous vegetal backbone that balances the fruit's natural sweetness.

In the heart, artisan sugar flowers dissolve gently, leaving a honeyed roundness reminiscent of manuka honey. The finish is clean and lightly floral, never heavy.

• Sencha: fresh, green, lightly briny base
• Peach & nectarine: juicy, sun-warmed fruity heart
• Sugar flowers: honeyed softness and a touch of indulgence
• Natural flavours: extend the sensation of ripe fruit

Savour this Sencha Nectarine from the first warm days of the season, when you want a bright, thirst-quenching cup that brings the orchard to mind.

How to brew Sencha Nectarine green tea

Use 12 to 15 g of leaves per litre of water, roughly a heaped teaspoon per cup. Low-mineral water will bring out the Sencha's delicacy and the fruit's natural roundness more clearly.

Heat your water to between 70 and 80°C, never boiling: Sencha brewed too hot turns bitter and loses its freshness. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain immediately to preserve that gentle, vegetal character.

In summer, this tea is wonderful served iced. Simply place the leaves in a jug of cold water and leave to infuse in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours, then strain. The result is subtly sweet, very fruity, and completely bitterness-free.

Storage

Keep this tea in its airtight caddy, away from light, moisture and strong odours. The leaves will hold their fruity fragrance for several months, so every cup tastes as good as the first.
