Marks & Spencer Pure China Green Sencha Tea Pyramids
What it is
These are individual tea bags designed to steep a single serving of green tea. They contain dried sencha tea leaves, a popular Japanese variety known for its fresh, grassy flavor. The pyramid shape allows the tea leaves more room to unfurl and release their full aroma and taste into the hot water. This packaging makes preparing a cup of tea convenient and mess-free.
How people cook with it
This tea is perfect for a refreshing hot beverage at any time of day. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for other drinks.
- Morning refreshment
- Afternoon pick-me-up
- Soothing evening drink
- Base for iced tea
To prepare, place one pyramid tea bag into a mug or teapot. Heat fresh water until it is hot but not boiling, ideally around 70-80°C (158-176°F). Pour the hot water over the tea bag and let it steep for 1 to 3 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bag and enjoy. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and chill before serving over ice.
How it differs from similar foods
Sencha tea is distinct from other green teas due to its steaming process, which preserves its vibrant green color and fresh, vegetal notes. Unlike black teas, it is not oxidized. This particular tea comes in pyramid bags, offering better infusion than traditional flat tea bags.
Who it is for
Anyone seeking a flavorful and aromatic green tea experience will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining tea pyramids in their original box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the box is closed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent the tea from absorbing unwanted smells.
