Character

Flavour

The visuals of this tea prove to be striking at first glance, since the golden-yellow yuzu peels form a lovely contrast to the deep purple needles of the Sunrouge. The Sunrouge cultivar, which resembles cistus tea, harmonises with the lightly tart citrus note of the yuzu, thus forming a vitalising symbiosis. Through the addition of yuzu to the Sunrouge, the tea is enriched with large amounts of anthocyanins, as well as citrus polyphenols like hesperidin. Adding a splash of lemon juice to the tea not only enhances the aroma but also reveals the beautifully shiny pink colour of the anthocyanidins due to the change in pH.

Needles

Fine, dark needles and light orange yuzu pieces.

Cup

Delicate rosé orange.

Sunrouge

Sunrouge is a cultivar of the "Cha Chuukanbohon Nou 6" variety, and was specially developed in Japan as a result of crossing the Camellia sinensis and taliensis varieties. The cultivar's most striking feature is the bright red colour of the leaves. This shade is also characteristic of the plant's teas, and indicates a high concentration of anthocyanins. This natural pigmentation is also found in blueberries. In Japan, a squeeze of lemon juice is often added to the tea, which makes it particularly refreshing and further intensifies its red shade.
