    Inspired by the Japanese cherry blossom festival known as hanami, we've layered a base of fresh sencha green tea with flavours of sweet, ripe cherries and a sprinkling of pretty pink rose and peony petals. It’s bright, sweet and sublimely springlike – one sip will have you sitting under a candyfloss cloud of blossom.

Green Tea

Green tea's fresh, verdant taste is down to its processing: the leaves are heated shortly after picking, stopping the oxidation process that would eventually turn them into black tea. Some of the best green teas are found in Japan and China, where the techniques of firing or steaming the leaves have been perfected over many centuries.
