Sencha is one of the best-known green tea types. Originally consumed by Buddhist monks as a remedy and for spiritual composure, it is today considered a source of inspiration and vitality. Sencha means steamed tea: Sen = steam, Cha = tea. Firstly, the tealeaves are folded lengthwise while drying on warm trays, and then they are heated in wood-fuelled pans in order to stop the fermentation. You will immediately recognize the long, well-worked, grass-green leaves in this quality tea. After the infusion, the full leaf structure can be seen, and the cup has a bright yellow colour. The grass-like flavour and fine sweetness are a pleasure for every Sencha enthusiast!
Just imagine: lying under a coconut palm on a Caribbean beach, listening to the sea and enjoying the sun. This tropical flair is captured in our Pina Colada redbush. The cocktail classic brings about the lazy Caribbean feeling, which you can now enjoy in a non-alcoholic version. The combination of fruity fresh pineapple with creamy, sweet coconut brings exotic pleasure. Accordingly, the tea is decorated with coconut and pineapple pieces - absolutly delightful.
Among the countless types of English tea blends, which are offered today, the traditional classics are still amongst the most popular. Our creation is based on a traditional recipe and composed of 50% select Ceylonese highland teas and of equal portions of highly aromatic Assam and Java leaf teas. Thanks to its fine and spicy taste, this blend is a perfect companion for your morning toast with honey or jam, but also ideally suited for afternoon tea with cake, biscuits or scones with clotted cream.
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.
In the Middle Ages, the so-called Angels' Bread was reserved for the rich, who ate it as an exquisite dessert. The lower classes were only introduced to marzipan at the beginning of the 20th Century, when the first marzipan factory was established. The incomparably superior flavour of this delicious sweet mass, made of ground almonds, sugar, rose water and selected spices, ideally unities with the aromatic black tea. A treat, not only for Marzipan fans.
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.
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!
Come and begin a journey through your body and bring it with spirit and soul into harmony. Let the effect of all these individual spices and colours do their deed. Chakra is Sanskrit for Wheel. From the root to the crown, the energy is flowing.
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.
