Flavour profile
The first sip reveals the characteristic, slightly vegetal freshness of Sencha green tea, balanced by the mellow, sweet undertone of Pai Mu Tan white tea (a gently oxidised tea made from young buds from China's Fujian province). Apple pieces bring fruity sweetness, cinnamon adds a warm spiced frame, and almonds round the experience with a lightly roasted, nutty touch. The overall impression is harmonious and never overwhelming — a cup you can sip happily for hours.
What is this tea for?
Elixir Tea is an excellent choice when you want something more special than your everyday morning or afternoon brew. It is a pleasant companion while working, reading or sharing a quiet conversation. Thanks to the relatively low caffeine content of white tea, it can also be enjoyed in the afternoon without disturbing sleep. We especially recommend it to those who love fruity-spicy teas but prefer to avoid the heavier notes of black tea.
Step-by-step brewing
Boil fresh, soft water and let it rest for a few minutes until it cools to 65-75 °C. Use 2 grams of tea leaves (roughly one level teaspoon) per 200 ml cup. Cover and steep for 5-8 minutes. White and green teas are sensitive to overly hot water and long steeping — if the first cup tastes bitter, simply shorten the time or slightly lower the water temperature. Sugar or honey can be added, but the tea tastes best clean and natural.
Ingredients
Sencha green tea, Pai Mu Tan white tea, chopped cinnamon, apple (apple approx. 97.5%, salt, citric acid E330, optionally ascorbic acid E300), rolled almonds, natural aroma. Contains an allergen (almond).
Who is it for?
For tea lovers exploring the world of handcrafted blends, and anyone looking for a layered, multi-note cup. It works beautifully hot during cooler seasons, and just as well as iced tea with a slice of lemon in summer. Also a lovely gift for tea enthusiasts: the premium packaging and carefully chosen ingredients make every cup feel like a small celebration.
Storage and shelf life
To preserve the aroma, keep the tea in a well-sealed container in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and strongly scented foods. Stored this way, it retains its fragrance and flavour for 12-18 months. Once opened, we recommend enjoying it within a reasonable time to experience its freshness at its best. A metal tin or an airtight dark glass jar is the best container — metal blocks light, while glass preserves the delicate aromas of the white tea and cinnamon.
