Elixir Green-White Tea Blend — 1 kg Large Pack
A premium-category blend — Japanese Sencha green tea and Chinese Pai Mu Tan (White Peony) white tea, combined with ground and chopped cinnamon, apple and almond shavings. White tea is the least processed tea type — its delicate, lightly sweet character leads. The economical 1 kg format is made for premium tea shops, boutique hotels and wellness centres.
Flavour profile and sensory notes
The aroma is complex — cinnamon's sweet, spicy note leads, followed by the roasted, jam-like sweetness of almond shavings, over the green-fruity base of apple and Sencha. The taste is delicate, light-bodied, sweet-spicy — the characteristic "silky" quality of white tea distinguishes it from ordinary green. The cinnamon is not sharp, only softly present. Almond brings a mild oily roundness. Warm colour — pale gold with a light orange tint.
Who is it for?
Premium tea shops where the white tea category is key. Boutique hotels and wellness spas for distinctive tea menus. Cafés and confectioneries — the cinnamon-apple character pairs wonderfully with pastries. Elegant breakfast venues on the VIP tea list. Yoga and meditation centres for a finer, deeper tea experience.
Preparation tips
Preparation — temperature is critical: 2 g of tea in 200 ml of 65-75 °C (warm, not boiling) water, steep 5-8 minutes. White tea is sensitive — never use boiling water, it turns bitter and loses aroma. Pleasant unsweetened; if sweetening, acacia honey is most authentic. Second infusion: Pai Mu Tan carries character into a second steep — 7-8 minutes longer is ideal. Service tip: serve in a clear glass teapot with a warmer — leaves can be shown to the guest, creating a premium experience.
Storage
In an airtight, light-protected container. White tea is particularly sensitive to oxygen and moisture — even slight airflow can damage character. After opening nagy kiszerelés packaging, the optimal use window is 2 months; unopened, 18 months of freshness. Due to almond, store in a cool place (almond oil is sensitive to rancidity).
Frequently asked questions
Why pricier than other green teas? Pai Mu Tan white tea is hand-picked, minimally processed — rarer and more refined. For almond-allergic customers? NOT recommended — contains almond shavings; allergen info must be shown on end-consumer packaging. Why 65-75 °C water? White tea's delicate aromas evaporate in boiling water; only warm water draws out the silkiness.
