Ras el Hanout is a spice blend made of up to 30 different, ground spices and refines innumerable dishes from many countries around the world, uniting their cultures. The recipe is a combination of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, chilli, rose and aniseed, to name but a few, which offer an exciting taste experience uniting spicy, hot and sweet flavours. Our unusual creation of exotic, fruity pomegranate is refined with this mysterious, highly aromatic spice blend. Bright pomegranate blossoms and arils make for a fitting, colourful optic.
Sweet and nutty: the traditional speciality from the Orient is well-known for those two attributes. Next to classic ingredients such as pistachios and almonds, our tea blend was refined with real Manuka honey powder as well as the taste of a very special spice blend. It has its origin in the North of Africa and is called “Ras el Hanout”. Up to 30 different ingredients are united in this spice and add the special “something” to numerous dishes and now also to our tea creation. Components such as cloves, cinnamon and cardamom as well as a bit lesser known spices such as mace and coriander and a helping of rose petals make our Black Sencha become an incomparable taste experience.
It was by purely by chance that we found this very exceptional quality. All used tea shrubs are at least 20-30 years old P-126 Clones from the famous “Sessa” section. Especially skilled staff plucks the leaves in the early morning hours, followed by an 85% leaf selection, the so-called “final-leaf count”. Withering takes place on small bamboo sheets on shelves with a leaf layer of only up to 2.5 cm. This helps the flavours and tannins to unfold wonderfully. The subsequent rolling is done by small, corrugated rollers which results in the distinct, finely rolled leaf structure. Oxidation is done at only 26°C, but longer than usual. The final drying phase takes place on smaller shelves which preserves the light-coloured leaf tips and captures the full flavour. This tea delights with its delicate elegance and hints of plums, apricots and dark chocolate instead of the usual heavy spiciness of Assam teas. A special treat for purists…
Oh, what a pretty black tea blend decorated with bright red pomegranates and rose petals, vivid carrot flakes and refined with the taste of heavenly fruity pomegranate arils and puffed buckwheat. So pretty that it will make you want to be part of it.
Imagine the feeling of an Arabian Nights fairy tale. This mild China Ceylon black tea blend becomes a real treat with classic ingredients such as sultanas, pistachios and pomegranate arils, reminding you of the traditional crispy baklava pastries soaked in sugar. Absolutely mouth-watering. Enjoy!
