Greens & Roses

Greens & Roses a high quality Sencha blend with hints of cherry and rose petals.  Get ready to taste THE green tea of green teas. Hunan Province in China produces some excellent Japanese style green teas. Early in the new season the tea is a bright emerald green and has the best flavor noted by a spring fresh character with pungency and body. In Hunan the tea starts growing about March 15th, and between then and the end of April the quality is very good. Once you pass April, the quality plummets on account of the volume of leaf taken in and the bushes growing too quickly. The leaves in Greens & Roses were particularly sourced from tea grown between March 15 and April 15 and you will taste the quality and dedication to better tea when you compare this tea with similarly graded teas.

Sencha is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies marking events of personal importance. In this type of ceremony it is the ritual that is of paramount importance as the individual is being acknowledged. Greens & Roses or flavored tea is a relatively new phenomena and combining flavors with rose petals to emulate cherry blossom time and Japanese style green tea is almost considered ‘Avant Garde’ by our Japanese friends. The rose petals in this blend are intended to simulate the cherry blossoms of springtime in Japan.  Spring in Japan is the ultimate inspiration behind Greens and Roses
