The flavour profile of vanilla cinnamon green tea
From the moment you open the pouch, the aromas unfold: vanilla wraps around you, cinnamon warms gently, and apple brings a lightly crisp, fruity note. A cosy, almost autumnal fragrance that makes you want to brew straight away.
On the palate, the Sencha lays down its fresh, vegetal foundation, a recognisable organic base with a smooth, herbaceous roundness. Cinnamon settles at the heart of the cup, supported by vanilla that softens the whole and tempers the spice.
Orange peel adds a bright, zesty lift, while rose petals contribute a delicate floral touch. The apple, in generous pieces, brings a natural fruity sweetness that balances the spiced character beautifully. A real bouquet for lovers of flavourful infusions.
Top notes: enveloping vanilla, zesty orange.
Heart notes: warming cinnamon, vegetal Sencha.
Base notes: fruity apple, subtle rose.

How to brew vanilla cinnamon green tea
Brewing a great green tea comes down to a few careful details. Water that is too hot scorches the Sencha leaves and brings out bitterness, while a well-timed infusion reveals all the finesse of the blend.
Water: filtered, low in minerals, heated to 80°C (175°F). If you do not have a temperature-controlled kettle, bring water to a boil and let it rest for 2 minutes before pouring over the leaves.
Quantity: 12 to 15 grams per litre, roughly one heaped tablespoon for a 500 ml teapot. Adjust to taste and to the size of your teapot.
Time: 2 to 3 minutes. Beyond that, the Sencha can develop more astringent notes, so keep an eye on the clock to preserve the blend's natural roundness.
Iced preparation: this blend lends itself beautifully to cold brewing. Use 15 g per litre of cold water, leave to steep for 4 to 6 hours in the fridge, strain and serve over ice. The vanilla and apple aromas come through with a surprising freshness, perfect for warmer days.

Storage
Keep the blend in its original tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. A dry cupboard, well clear of spices and coffee, will preserve the natural vanilla aromas and the freshness of the Sencha for several months after opening.
