High quality Sencha tea grandly flavoured with cherry blossoms.
Company description not available.
I mentioned a few days ago that I’m a fan of cherry green teas. And fortunately for me, here’s another one.
In the packet there’s a strong smell of cherry, like Luden’s cough drops. After steeping, this becomes mellower, and takes on a vanilla note as well. The tea is a medium, golden yellow color and has some particles suspended in it.
The flavor skips that vanilla note I mentioned, but keeps the cherry and adds a floral effect as well, which I suppose isn’t surprising given that this is flavored with cherry blossoms rather than cherry fruits. It’s not perfumy, though — it’s a gentle cherry essence mixed with a mild, grassy green tea.
A very nice example of its kind.
Flavors: Cherry, Floral, Vanilla
Though pretty good, Sencha Imperial falls short of Mariage Freres’ higher grade of Sakura Tea. I’m probably a harsher critic than most. And it is cheap enough that you can actually afford to drink it if it suits you. I just won’t purchase any more of it once I finish off this tin.
