Tea Blend #1: Japanese Cherry Green tea

Hey all! Welcome to Rebel Teas. In each of the articles here, I'll be featuring another delectable tea that I enjoyed, and how you can get your hands on it. I'll also be proving that loose leaf is tastier, healthier, and as affordable as tea bags (or at least comparable on price).


Blend #1: Japanese Cherry Green Tea (Romantic?)

Blend #1 before I steeped it - notice the whole rose petals

It's valentine's day, and in honor of the holiday, I've purchased some red roses - but these roses happen to be dried.

Today's blend is a mix of Sencha green tea (whole leaf tea from Japan), essence of cherry, and rose petals. This is a great beginner's tea, because it provides a solid introduction into the virtues of custom blended tea - those details also make it one of my favorite blends.

Flavor: This blend combines the traditional flavors of green tea, with delicious and flavorful notes of cherry and rose. These three simple ingredients combine into a tea that is refreshing, naturally sweet, and a tea that has an aroma you will not believe.

Blend Summary:

Brew color: A golden shade of green

Brew Aroma: Green tea, with fresh notes of cherry and rose - very identifiable and natural

Tasting notes: Naturally smooth and refreshing

Where To Purchase:

I've worked out a deal with the producer of this tea for a special offering. For a limited time, you can purchase four ounces of this tea for just $20. That's enough for dozens of cups. In addition, for just $35, we're offering a package of four ounces of tea, plus a special glass infuser. It's not necessary for making tea, but it's certainly useful.

$20 For 4 Ounces of Tea

$35 For 4 Ounces of Tea + Special Glass Infuser

This tea is delicious no matter how you prepare it, but I do provide suggested steep instructions for those who demand perfection:

Suggested Water Temperature: 165 degrees Farenheit/ 73.8 degrees celcius

Suggested Steep Time: 3-4 Minutes
