Description

Nepalese Sakura SFTGFOP1: Mid-season

Sakura is a large leaf third flush picking that has developed a deep nectar-like fragrance with a well rounded muscatel character. In the cup Nepalese Sakura tea appears a deep reddy bronze. However it has a younger, fresher flavour than a Darjeeling. This is due to the youth of the tea bushes which were planted later than in Darjeeling. Use one teaspoon per cup and one for the pot with freshly boiling water and infuse for four minutes. Drink without milk.

Tea from Grey's Teas

Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.

Sourcing our tea

This tea has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.

The benefits of loose leaf tea

This Nepalese Sakura tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!

Packing options

There are generally several packing options to choose from. These are 60 grams, 125 grams and 250 grams, the default being 125 grams in a packet. Our tough resealable packets contain a moisture barrier to ensure freshness is maintained and are specifically designed for tea. Alternatively, you can select a tin caddy for your tea. These square, silver coloured caddies have hinged lids. Again, 60 gram, 125 gram and 250 gram options are generally available as options which can be selected from the drop-down list. Packets and caddies have full-colour labels.

Delivery options

For delivery our standard shipping is second class post unless you choose an alternative option such as first class post or courier. Free UK shipping is available for orders over £30 and free first class post can be chosen for orders over £50.

Storing your tea

Store your tea with care by ensuring it is stored air-tight, away from heat, light, moisture and strong aromas. Our standard best-before period is one year from packing and all teas are packed to order.

A guide to our tea

At the checkout you may choose to receive a free, full-colour, eight-page guide to our tea. For more information about buying our loose leaf teas see our page How to Buy the Best Loose Leaf Tea.

    A good “every day” tea

  3. D. Jameson (verified owner) –

    Ceylon Nuwara Eliya Court Lodge OP So far not a lot of taste to this tea. Perhaps if I used more tea and filled 2 silicone tea bags rather than one.

  4. melisandef (verified owner) –

    this is my favourite tea so far; it’s light, delicate and very fragrant. An excellent bargain for an everyday tea

  5. rawcy (verified owner) –

    Mr Grey has found some excellent Nepalese teas. I am trying Sakura for the first time, it’s light an almost honey-like aroma and smooth. Not a beefy breakfast tea but good for later in the day. Adding it to Nepalese Kathmandu on my list.

    Product: can’t be bothered!
    Service: can’t be bothered!

  11. David Phillips –

    Product:
    Service: Yet again Greys have taken my order, cashed in my payment, sent this questionnaire but not delivered the tea!. I had to send 3 – increasingly annoyed – emails last time. When I buy tea from NBT of F&M it arrives without hassle the following day. Yet this virtually never happens with Greys
    Vendor response: I am sorry you have this view which is not reflected in the experience of the vast majority of our other customers. Your order was despatched within four days. There was some delay whilst we awaited additional stock. We have received no communication from you.
