Eternal Elixir
THE GUEST CUP
Fine green and white tea with apple, cinnamon and almond.
A softly spiced blend for the person you like enough to unfold the better napkins.
The story
Not every good thing needs a grand occasion. Sometimes the guest is one person, the table is still carrying yesterday's post and the fine cup is brought out anyway. Sencha and Pai Mu Tan keep the blend light; apple, cinnamon and almond make it feel quietly considered.
What this actually is
A loose blend of Sencha green tea and Pai Mu Tan white tea with apple, cinnamon, rolled almond and aroma. It is a fine-leaf, lightly spiced blend with a softer body than black tea and a clear almond note.
Kept for: Fine leaf · Soft apple · Almond · Quiet luxury
