Sencha Quince from T2

Sencha Quince

Green Tea by T2

An appealing addition to our flavoured green tea range. The fresh herbaceous qualities of sencha play with pretty cornflower blossoms and the sweet assertiveness of quince. Light pink musk aromas transform into fruity and fresh floral flavours with a brisk finish. An exotic and sensual sensation.

Ingredients:
Sencha green tea, cornflowers, mallow flowers, flavour

3 Tasting Notes

Ok, I’ve been struggling with this cold and sore throat for over a week now, and today is the worst I’ve felt. But I simply have too many samples to try, and I can’t hold myself off any longer. These may not be the best conditions for truly evaluating this tea, but they are some of the best conditions for just saying, “Stuff it! I’m gonna do what I want to keep myself comfortable!”

So with that bit of self-indulgence in mind, this is really nice. I get florals and vanilla with a sweet-tart fruitiness all on top of a base of mind-soothing sencha. It’s smooth and rather buttery. I can see why it’s one of T2’s most popular green teas. The kids can run around, fuss, and generally destroy the house; they’ll be alright and I’ll be alright. That’s the mood this tea has left me with. (Do-gooders, relax: I’m not neglecting my kids. I’m gaining mental strength for the rest of our day!)

You can read a separate review I did for this tea and a couple of other T2 greens on my blog: http://hardlysupermom.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/progress-report-card-t2-nine-green-pack-part-3/

The dry scent of this tea is so beautiful, and I’m happy to report that it’s retained in a lighter sense in the steeped tea. Beautiful sencha with a sweet kick. Also sensational as an iced tea. My new favourite of T2’s flavoured senchas.

I really like this flavoured sencha. The quince and cornflowers work really well together. This is definitely one of my favourite senchas from T2.
