Description

Baked Apple – green tea inspired by the taste of a homemade dessert

The name itself of the Baked Apple Tea evokes associations with one of the favorite homemade desserts – baked apple with almond crumble. SenchSencha, which forms the base of this blend, is one of the most recognizable Japanese teas (it comes in dozens of regional varieties). Its leaves are briefly steamed, which helps preserve the infusion's characteristic freshness and green hue. In Japan, Sencha is drunk daily—it's as common as morning coffee here. In this blend, its herbal, slightly grassy notes create the perfect backdrop for the fruity additions, retaining the lightness typical of high-quality green teas. The delicate base ensures that the apple and almond aromas don't dominate the composition but blend naturally, giving the infusion a dessert-like character.

Another interesting ingredient is rose petals, whose role in tea is not merely decorative. Roses have been featured in infusions for centuries – in Persia, they were treated as a symbol of luxury, and in Europe, they were added to blends to emphasize their aromatic depth. Combined with apple and almonds, they introduce a subtle, floral lightness that beautifully contrasts with the dessert character of the composition. Their presence adds elegance to the infusion while also toning down the sweetness of the other ingredients, creating a more balanced overall experience. Rose petals also influence the perception of the aroma – they emphasize its warm notes but prevent it from becoming heavy or overwhelming. As a result, the composition acquires a multi-layered character, revealed in both the aroma and the taste.

Taste and aroma

The infusion has a soft, fruity apple sweetness combined with a delicate hint of almond. Sencha provides freshness and a light, herbal note that balances the overall flavor, while rose petals add a subtle, floral touch. The aroma is dessert-like and enveloping, but without the heaviness typical of winter teas, making Baked Apple a perfect warming infusion for cooler afternoons. The flavor is harmonious, distinctly fruity, yet with a noticeable hint of green tea.

For whom?

Baked Apple will appeal to those who enjoy green teas with a delicate, fruity note but don't want to sacrifice Sencha's distinctive freshness. This blend works well for customers seeking something light, aromatic, and reminiscent of a homemade dessert, but without overly sweetness. It's also a great option for those who want to incorporate a touch of warm, apple aroma into their daily routine in a subtle, tea-like version.

How to brew Baked Apple tea?

To brew Baked Apple tea, use water at 80–90°C, using 1 teaspoon of dried herb per 200 ml of water. The optimal brewing time is 2 to 3 minutes, which will preserve the freshness of the Sencha while fully releasing the delicate dessert aroma of apple and almond.
