In 1833, Earl Grey, the Earl of Howick Hall, at that time British Prime Minister, suspended the price monopoly, which the East India Company had over the tea trade with China. The originally pure Chines tea was lightly flavoured with fine bergamot oil. This additional fragrance, which was provided by the Chinese, was intended to protect the tea from the taste of mould and tar, which could arise from the long voyage at see to royal England. Thus this tea received its name, and, still today „Earl Grey” is the embodiment of the finest English tea.
This exquisitely elegant green tea blend offers a round and intense taste experience to the connoisseurs. The litchi fruit from China - the land of the smiles - brings sweet, fruity and soft, flowery notes to this fresh, tangy „Sencha” . With the berry note of this delicious fruit, the blend reaches perfection. The noble rose petals and the jasmine blossoms, which come from far away countries, are perfect partners for the freeze-dried strawberry pieces in this carefully balanced combination of flavours.
Also known as "Zucha" or "Pearl Tea", this Gunpowder is much finer than its predessor. Just like the classic Gunpowder, this tea is dried in rolling drums. The constant rotation gives the tea its spherical form. "Temple of Heaven" tea features a very tightly rolled ball, which is also a sign of quality. The aroma is softer than that of the standard quality and less bitter. This tea may be enjoyed at any time of the day. If you still find the brew too tangy, try pouring away the first brew and taste the second. Most of the caffeine content will also be eliminated in this way.
The tea makers have created a very extraordinary tea in ths blend. The coarse, uneven leaf structure makes you beleive this is a more tangy tea. However, the multi-faceted taste, which is certainly comparable to some Japanese teas, invalidates this assumption. The glowing, lime-coloured infusion hints at green asparagus. Well-scented and flowery in taste, this tea is predestined for green tea enthusiasts.
Mango is one of the most popular fruits and is especially appreciated by anyone who has ever had the chance to eat one in one of its countries of origin. In India, a remarkable spice is won from the still unripe fruits, whereas in Western world mangos are used for desserts, coktails or ice cream. The delicious flavour of the tropical fruit on the mild, spicy China-Ceylon blend, enriched with sweet, dried mango cubes and bright yellow sunflower blossoms makes this tea an exotic experience!
Cherries play an important role in Japanese culture. The cherry blossoms festival whisch takes place every year is beautiful to look at. The exquisite „Sencha” base was refined with high-quality sour cherry pieces and a tempting cherry flavour. The scent alone of this delicious tea makes our thoughts wander to this exciting far away country. This blend is doubtless a real classic among the flavoured green teas and belongs in every assortment.
Vanilla is probably the most popular of all flavours. Is it also your favourite? Then you should try our great green tea blend! The sweet and creamy vanilla notes in connection with the subtle caramel character create a full vanilla experience. The elegant green tea base most suitably supports the rich vanilla flavour. A real classic that should be an integrated part of each green tea assortment.
In China, this tea is very popular and its tradition is very old. This tea has influenced the European tea lover's idea of green tea. Chun Mee means "valuable brow", for the leaf reminds of the eyebrow form of classical Chinese beauties. The tea has a very typical taste with a tangy aroma accompanied by a slight sweetness. It is grown in southeastern China near the river Yangtze. If you find this tea too strong, you may pour away the first brew and enjoy the second, milder brew afterwards.
This creation is just as proud as the volcanic island by the same name. To do this name justice, we have not used one of our basic blends, but composed this blend in a particularly careful manner, clearly evident in the choice of many select fruits. It has also been enriched with shining blue and yellow blossoms and ennobled with the finest flavours of southern fruits. Here, sweet and tangy flavours and red and yellow fruits complement one another particularly well. An absolute top seller in our diversified product range.
