Aroma, Color, and Taste Experience

The dry blend is visually inviting: bright green tea leaves are intertwined with deep red goji berries and delicate cornflower blossoms. The aromatic bouquet is immediately noticeable – sweet-fruity, slightly honeyed, with a fresh green tea note. After the initial infusion, the aroma unfolds further, offering depth and nuances. The brew is brightly golden, transparent, and radiant. The taste is perfectly balanced. The first sip brings forth the freshness and lightness characteristic of green tea, which then smoothly blends into the sweet-sour dance of goji berries and pomegranate. This fruity sweetness is never excessive, but rather adds juiciness and depth to the drink. The texture is pleasantly rounded and mellow in the mouth. The aftertaste is long and invigorating, leaving a light sweet and fruity sensation. Teemaailm’s experts have chosen this variety precisely for its unique flavor profile, making it perfectly suitable for any day.

Our ‘Berries of Happiness’ blend takes you on an imaginary journey to the sunny mountain slopes of Asia, where morning mists caress the green tea bushes. Here, in fertile soil saturated with the vitality of ancient rivers, grow the tea leaves that form the heart of this extraordinary blend. Goji berries, known for their sweetness and legendary properties, originate from the fertile valleys of China, where they have been valued for centuries. Legend has it that an elixir drawn from goji berries granted immortality. These sun-drenched berries are carefully added to enrich each cup of tea with a touch of mysticism and freshness, offering a truly authentic experience.

🍵 Pot/Gaiwan: Use a porcelain gaiwan or a small clay teapot.
🌡️ Water temperature: Let the water cool to 70-80°C. Water that is too hot will make green tea bitter.
⚖️ Tea quantity: Use about 5-7 grams of tea per 100-150 ml of water.
⏳ First “rinse infusion”: Pour water over the tea, let it sit for 5-10 seconds, and immediately pour it out. This awakens the tea leaves and cleanses them.
⏱️ Subsequent infusions:
- 1st-3rd infusion: 15-20 seconds
- 4th-6th infusion: 20-30 seconds
- Each subsequent infusion: extend the time by another 10-15 seconds until the flavor begins to fade.
💧 Water quality: Use soft, filtered water for the tea’s flavor to fully emerge.
