Earl Grey Tea Recipe to Enjoy with Simple German Pastries

This original blend tea combines the refreshing taste of "Saemidori" as a base with bergamot and tangerine peel, which are used to flavor Earl Grey. While you can still clearly taste the deliciousness of sencha, it harmonizes with the elegant aroma, creating a fresh flavor.

Although it pairs well with both Japanese and Western sweets, we recommend combining it with German baked goods that use spices, nuts, and dried fruits. The tea's vibrant flavor stands up to the rich umami of nuts and the aroma of spices, elevating your tea time to the next level.
