Green Tea Seven Samurai – a symphony of flavors

The organoleptics of this tea are truly special. The aroma immediately reveals a bright and inviting bouquet, dominated by juicy notes of ripe pineapple and delicate nuances of sweet mango. A soft and creamy undertone of vanilla rounds out the aroma profile, adding softness and depth. The dry tea itself is visually rich – vibrant green tea leaves are intertwined with golden pineapple pieces and orange mango cubes, creating a colorful and appetizing picture.

The infusion yields a golden-yellow drink with a slight greenish hue. The taste echoes the exoticism promised in the aroma: the sweet-sour dance of pineapple and mango plays with the refreshing and slightly herbaceous base of green tea. The aftertaste is surprisingly creamy and velvety, thanks to vanilla, offering a long-lasting and pleasant sweetness without being overly heavy. This is a refreshing yet comforting blend, perfect for both daily enjoyment and special moments.

Imagine yourself on a journey to the mysterious jungles of Southeast Asia and the ancient gardens of the Land of the Rising Sun. It is from these distant and vibrant places that this blend is inspired, bringing you the essence of a tropical paradise. Legend has it that in these wild lands, ancient travelers discovered the first pineapple and mango trees, whose fruits were so delicious they were considered gifts from the gods. Fertile soils and a tropical climate, caressed by warm winds and dewy mornings, create ideal conditions for growing vibrant and aromatic tea leaves and fruits, giving the tea its characteristic vitality and flavor.

🍵 Clean the utensils: Rinse the gaiwan or small teapot with hot water to warm it.
⚖️ Tea quantity: Use about 5-7 grams of tea per 150 ml of water.
🌡️ Water temperature: Let boiled water cool to about 80°C.
🚿 First “wash”: Pour hot water over the tea and immediately (5-10 seconds) pour it out. This awakens the tea leaves and removes dust.
⏳ Subsequent infusions: Pour hot water again and let steep for 10-20 seconds. For subsequent infusions, extend the steeping time by 5-10 seconds each time.
✨ Enjoy: Green Tea Seven Samurai withstands multiple infusions, offering new flavor nuances each time.
