Sencha Plum and Cinnamon

Sencha Plum and Cinnamon

£2.95

A fine green tea scented with cinnamon and dried plum pieces. Rich and relaxing. Teas are often flavoured by adding fruits flowers and natural flavours to black oolong or green teas. The flavours complement the tea rather than cover up the delicate aromas of fine tea leaves. Flavoured teas offer delicious taste extensions to the world of tea and can be served hot cold and iced.
