I have to thank Coftea for the suggestion to try this according to high quality Sencha parameters.
The apple flavor seemed a bit more subdued, but the natural sweetness of the sencha came through in such a good way, that it almost seemed to have a stronger apple flavor than when boiling water is used!
Besides, the sencha base has such a nice flavor anyway, you hardly need to have the apple for it to be enjoyable… though, the mix of the two together is what this tea is all about.
I’m glad Den’s uses high quality sencha as the base; it makes a big difference!
You’re welcome!
