An authentic Japanese loose-leaf tea, it has a mellow character that makes it approachable pre-breakfast or ideal as a soothing afternoon infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey to the distinctive appeal of this toasty, nutty brew is its underlying grassy sweetness, which comes from the premium-quality Japanese green tea leaves. Harvested from July to August on the Pacific coast of Honshu, the leaves for our Supreme Genmaicha are plucked young from the traditional Yabukita cultivar of Camellia sinensis, then gently hand-rolled and dried. Grains of roasted rice – some of which 'pop' during the roasting process – are then added to the mix, resulting in this eye-catching blend of green, gold and white textures, which brews to a beautifully clear, pale-yellow infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA winner at the Great Taste Awards, this luxury single-origin Sencha should be enjoyed without the addition of milk or sweeteners so you can fully appreciate its mild nuttiness from the roasted brown rice and hints of fresh-cut grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the health benefits of Genmaicha?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenmaicha is thought to impart a range of health benefits, thanks to being rich in polyphenols. Derived from green tea, these plant compounds include gallic acid, associated with improved gut health, and flavonoids called catechins, which studies have shown may be linked to good cardiovascular function, weight management and even cancer prevention. Because of their minimal processing, green teas are also higher in other antioxidants such as carotenoids and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) than other teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Genmaicha Tea?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile genmaicha is relatively new to the Western world, where it's seen as a speciality tea with a complex flavour profile, in Japan this green tea has been consumed for centuries – mostly by the poor and by Buddhist monks during periods of fasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenmaicha means 'brown rice tea'; in the days when green tea was a luxury few could afford, the addition of rice bulked it out and made it affordable for the working classes. The fact that the roasted rice imparted a delicious toasty quality to this distinctive cup of green tea only cemented its popularity – little wonder it became known in Japan as 'the people's tea'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGreat alternatives to this Japanese Green Tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the warmth of toasted rice plus the vegetal umami deliciousness of matcha, try our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/supreme-matcha-iri-genmaicha-loose-leaf-tea?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=6cc45db78\u0026amp;_ss=r\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003eGenmaicha Iri Matcha\u003c\/a\u003e Japanese tea.

Considered a superfood, goji berries are linked to several anti-ageing benefits, particularly skin and eye health, due to their high levels of an antioxidant called zeaxanthin. This carotenoid gives the berry its brilliant colour, and therefore its 'red diamond' nickname, and has been found to reduce the light-induced oxidative damage that leads to macular degeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a red fruit with high levels of vitamin C, antioxidants and amino acids, goji berries are also associated with immune-boosting and flu-fighting properties. Meanwhile, the sencha tea leaves of this speciality blend come with their own health benefits: studies show that green tea may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, improve dental health and even fight cancer.

Our Japanese Sencha green tea is grown from the hybrid Saemidori (it means 'clear green') cultivar at around sea level in the Ise Bay area of Mie Prefecture on Honshu, where tea has been grown for some 800 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is sencha tea?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch loved for its light vegetal character and fresh, grassy quality Sencha is one of the most popular teas in Japan and certainly one of its most successful exports. A Buddhist monk called Eisai is widely credited with introducing tea farming to Japan, bringing seeds back from a visit to China in 1191. His book, Kissa Yojoki (which can be translated as 'How to Stay Healthy by Drinking Tea'), was the first book about tea in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea, the monks believed, was beneficial to both health and meditation. Their uptake was followed by the tea ceremonies associated with Samurai and Japanese intellectual culture – created to appreciate the arts, philosophy, education and politics while enjoying the brain-sharpening benefits of this hot 'new' caffeinated beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the 16th century, tea bushes were being shade-grown to boost \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlorophyll\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003echlorophyll\u003c\/a\u003e and mellow out the leaves' flavour. A method still used today in the production of matcha. But it was during Sakoku, Japan's period of self-imposed isolation from 1633 to 1853, that local tea growers really started experimenting with unique production techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1738, a tea farmer called Nagatani Soen made the first batch of recognisably modern sencha by quickly steaming the leaves to halt oxidation. He then immediately dried and rolled them, thereby locking in their garden freshness and rich green hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch the same technique is still used in the production of sencha, representing about 80 per cent of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/collections\/japanese-tea\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003eJapanese tea\u003c\/a\u003e industry. Our Japanese Sencha tea is steamed, gently machine-rolled and shaped during the teas production into the customary thin, cylindrical form of tea leaf, which has a very fine and fragile structure. Finally, the leaves go through hot-air drying to reduce the moisture content, aiding preservation and capturing the tea's distinctive flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe health benefits of sencha green tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/collections\/green-tea\\\"\u003especiality green tea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/collections\/green-tea\\\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003es, sencha is made from young, unoxidised leaves through a low-intervention production process that helps preserve the mother plant's nutrients and antioxidants.

Nnly one bud and two leaves are selected and plucked before being laid out to wither in the sun.

Evoking sea breezes and the aroma of fresh grass, this clear infusion is full of vegetal and umami notes, with the premium dark green Supreme Sencha tea leaves forming the perfect carrier for a judicious amount of fine powder Ceremonial Grade Matcha. The result is a fresh yet mellow cup that seems to glow with goodness, whether you're drinking it hot or as an iced tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clever combination of clean, light-tasting sencha and intense, creamy matcha makes this luxury tea smooth drinking at any time of day.

These early harvest green teas from the Yabukita cultivar of Camellia Sinensis are rich in plant compounds called polyphenols, associated with lowered blood pressure and cholesterol. Because of their minimal processing, green teas are also higher in antioxidants, such as carotenoids and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), than other teas, while sencha is thought to assist with dental health, thanks to its fluoride content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha scores particularly highly in the category of antioxidants called catechins, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is associated with cancer-fighting properties and a reduction of 'bad' LDL cholesterol. The green tea powder, which is grown in the shade, also contains high levels of healthy amino acids, including L-theanine. While matcha contains moderate amounts of caffeine, research has shown that it's released slowly in this tea due to its interaction with L-theanine.

Much loved for its heady aromatics of citrus-tinged with spice, it hasn't been out of style since – as likely these days to be found in your kitchen caddy as on a hotel tea room menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarl Grey was the first scented tea ever brewed. Forever associated with \u003ca rel='\\\"noopener' href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/history\/past-prime-ministers\/charles-grey-2nd-earl-grey\"\u003eCharles Grey\u003c\/a\u003e, the second Earl Grey and British prime minister from 1830 to 1834, its exact origins were never recorded but date back to the early 1800s and the start of the global tea industry. One of the most commonly quoted stories about the invention of Earl Grey tea has it that Charles Grey was gifted a black tea infused with bergamot oil by a Chinese mandarin as thanks to one of Grey's men saving his son's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother goes that the tea was accidentally 'discovered' when a shipment of bergamot oranges and black tea were shipped together to the earl's home, Howick Hall in Northumberland. More likely is that essential citrus oils were used to improve the flavour of tea made with strong-tasting water. Because Charles Grey never trademarked the name, the emerging big tea companies of the Victorian era were left to claim Earl Grey tea as their own, and the truth will probably remain a mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is without a doubt is how popular Earl Grey tea has become the world over. Today, Earl Grey is usually made by tea companies from Ceylon or Assam teas, or a blend of both, combined with bergamot orange. However, various regions and companies have created their own versions of the blend down the years – the most famous spin-off being Lady Grey, or Mary Grey in our case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScience has recently given Earl Grey tea even more of a boost. To add to a raft of discoveries about black teas' antioxidant and disease-fighting properties, studies have shown that bergamot may aid digestion, inhibit gut inflammation and help fight the bacteria associated with stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternatives to this iconic black tea blend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp id='\\\"isPasted\\\"'\u003eFor a more delicate take on this much-loved blend, try our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/mary-grey-loose-leaf-tea\"\u003eMary Grey\u003c\/a\u003e, full of fruity, citrus flavour and cheerful marigold petals.

It is smooth, clean and refreshing, with subtle natural sweetness and no bitterness when brewed correctly. The invigorating mint aroma and crisp finish make it enjoyable both hot and as a refreshing iced tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many cups of peppermint tea can I drink a day? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most healthy adults, enjoying 2 to 4 cups of peppermint tea a day is generally considered suitable as part of a balanced diet. As peppermint tea is naturally caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed throughout the day, whether after meals to support digestion or in the evening as a relaxing herbal infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs peppermint tea caffeine-free? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Peppermint tea is naturally caffeine-free because it is made from peppermint leaves rather than the Camellia sinensis tea plant. This makes it an excellent alternative to black or green tea for those reducing their caffeine intake or looking for a calming drink in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes peppermint tea have any side effects I should be aware of? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppermint tea is generally well tolerated by most people when consumed in moderation. However, some individuals may find that peppermint can worsen symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn. Those with allergies to plants in the mint family should avoid it, and anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a medical condition should seek advice from a healthcare professional if unsure whether peppermint tea is suitable for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen is the best time to drink peppermint tea? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppermint tea can be enjoyed at any time of day. Many people choose to drink it after meals because it is traditionally associated with supporting digestion, while others enjoy it in the evening as a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea. Its refreshing flavour also makes it an excellent choice as a cooling iced tea during warmer months. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Tea Makers of London","offers":[{"title":"25g Pack","offer_id":40380337324231,"sku":"21002TAS","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g Caddy","offer_id":40380337356999,"sku":"21002CAD","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g Pack","offer_id":40380337389767,"sku":"21002S","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg Pack","offer_id":40380337422535,"sku":"21002","price":81.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/0593\/2743\/products\/Product-122-Peppermint-Herbal-Tea-Loose-Leaf-Macro-Web.jpg?v=1625216583"},{"product_id":"rose-buds-loose-leaf-tea","title":"Whole Rose Buds","description":"\u003cp\u003eCould there be a prettier tea than our Whole Rosebuds herbal infusion?

Nibbled by tiny green leafhoppers, or tea jassids, its leaves begin to oxidise while the leaves are still on the plant, triggering the production of polyphenols and making for this superbly smooth and fruity luxury tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as Dongfang Meiren, or Bai Hao ('white tip'), Oriental Beauty is grown in the Hsinchu County area of northern Taiwan. As its Bai Hao name suggests, it's one of the very few 'tippy' oolongs – only shoots containing one bud and two top leaves are selected for plucking. Our single-origin Oriental Beauty has been traditionally harvested in summer at the perfect point of oxidation, with the tea offering a refreshing light amber infusion and complex honey flavours with hints of dark cherry and cacao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne look at its delicate brown leaves, twisted and streaked with silver, tells you that this Taiwanese oolong is something special. Grown at an elevation of 300m in the rolling Hsinchu hills, the tea's oxidation has been meticulously controlled by the farmer, Mr Chang, which is what makes its flavour so striking. Indulgently aromatic, its sweet undertones make it easy drinking at any time of day – although with only small quantities released each year, you'll want to order a caddy quickly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Oriental Beauty grown?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large degree of Oriental Beauty's natural sweetness is down to those aforementioned foliage-eating leafhoppers. As the summer arrives, the tiny insects (scientific name Jacobiasca formosana) arrive in the Taiwanese tea gardens where Oriental Beauty is harvested. These are generally located in warmer, humid tea-growing areas and left pesticide-free to encourage the leafhoppers to proliferate. When the insects bite the leaves, the tea bushes defend themselves by releasing terpenes – plant compounds responsible for the famed honey-like qualities of the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trick for the artisan farmers is to let the insects graze on the plants to exactly the right point: a little leaf damage equals ideal sweetness; too much and you end up with more bitterness, rather than less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, despite constant monitoring and supervision by the expert farmers, only 40-50% of the tea leaves will be usable. Hence Oriental Beauty's status as a highly sought-after and rare tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the health benefits of Oolong?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, the Chinese have touted the health benefits of oolong tea: as an aid to weight loss, cardiovascular function and improved cognition. And recent studies have shown that drinking a couple of cups of oolong per day may indeed help break down fat while you're sleeping due to the tea's metabolism-boosting capabilities, therefore reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Those capabilities are down to the tea's high levels of polyphenols, the antioxidant-packed plant-based compounds that are also linked to a decrease in cell division in certain cancers, improved bone mineral density and a reduction in certain skin conditions such as eczema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to brew Oriental Beauty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriental Beauty is a speciality tea that requires a slightly different approach to brewing than other oolongs. We recommend boiling the water up to 80-90C and steeping the leaves for three to four minutes. Our Oriental Beauty is suitable for two re-steepings, but we suggest keeping the wet leaves in a pot without water for the second serving, to avoid over-brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best teapots to use for this tea are porcelain or glass – unlike other oolongs, the use of a clay pot such as a Yixing may detract from Oriental Beauty's finely balanced flavour and integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternatives to Oriental Beauty tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for an everyday option in an oolong, you can't go past our \u003ca rel='\\\"noopener' href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/four-season-oolong-loose-leaf-tea\\\" noreferrer=\"\" target='\\\"_blank\\\"'\u003eFour Seasons\u003c\/a\u003e Taiwanese tea – earthy-sweet, with a mild, nutty character, it's an easy way to get your fix.

Produced in very small quantities at Satemwa Tea Estate in Malawi, this long wiry black tea has been carefully selected from well-bodied micro-batches before being aged in old whiskey barrels sourced from a small distillery in Cape Town, South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSatemwa has long been known for its willingness to experiment with speciality tea. Since reviving its artisanal tea production, the estate has developed a range of award-winning white, green, oolong, black, post-fermented and smoked teas. This whiskey barrel aged black tea continues that tradition, bringing together African tea craftsmanship with the layered aromatics of oak barrel ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea is cured in the barrel for around three to four weeks, with the leaves turned every two days to encourage an even and balanced infusion of flavour. This careful ageing process gives the tea a subtle complexity without overpowering the character of the leaf itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a limited-edition black tea with a beautifully rounded profile. Expect the structure of a well-made OP1 black tea, enriched by gentle notes of oak, malt, dried fruit and a soft whiskey-barrel sweetness. It is smooth, warming and quietly indulgent, a tea made for slow sipping, works perfect as an after-dinner drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory, Origin \u0026amp; Terroir\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSatemwa Tea Estate was founded in 1923 and remains family-owned, a rare distinction in Malawi’s tea industry.
