Wild Cherry & Rose Carnival Green Tea

Wild Cherry and Rose Carnival Green Tea combines green tea and maté with rose, cornflower, coconut and cherry.

The tea base provides fresh vegetal character and gentle astringency. Rose and cornflower contribute a floral presentation, while coconut and cherry round out the blend with softer fruit and confectionery notes.

Layered tea base: Green tea and maté create a fresh foundation with herbaceous depth.

Floral ingredients: Rose and cornflower give the dry leaf a colourful appearance and support its garden inspired character.

Fruit and coconut accents: Cherry and coconut soften the greener notes and add a rounded aromatic impression.

Hot or iced versatility: Careful brewing produces a fragrant cup that works well warm or chilled.

Aroma: Floral rose with cherry and coconut accents over a fresh tea base.

Flavour: Green and gently herbaceous with soft floral, fruit and coconut character.

Body: Light to medium with a smooth texture.

Finish: Clean, fragrant and lightly drying.

Flavour impression: A floral fruit accented green tea blend rather than a heavily sweet fruit infusion.

Tea amount: Use approximately 3 to 4 grams or 1 heaped teaspoon for every 250 millilitres of water.

Water temperature: Heat fresh water to 75°C to 80°C or 167°F to 176°F.

Steeping time: Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain completely.

Adjust to taste: Begin at 2 minutes. Use slightly more tea for a stronger cup instead of extending the steep excessively.

Brewing tip: Cooler water protects the fresh green tea character. Boiling water may increase bitterness and astringency.

Make a concentrated infusion: Use approximately 6 to 8 grams for every 250 millilitres of water.

Brew gently: Use water at 75°C to 80°C and steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve over ice: Strain completely and pour into a heat safe glass or pitcher filled with ice.

Finish to taste: Add fresh cherries, rose petals intended for food use or a small amount of honey if desired.

Cold infusion option: Combine approximately 4 to 5 grams with 250 millilitres of cold water, refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, strain and serve chilled.
