Sencha Goji Berry - Teabags

For a refreshing burst of goodness, try this fruity number – our luxury loose-leaf No. 57 Sencha Goji Berry tea. Packed with antioxidant-rich goji berries, this exceptional green tea blend is vibrant-tasting and delicious, whether served hot as an immune-boosting winter warmer or chilled as a revitalising summer cold brew.

To create this healthy loose leaf tea, long leaves of premium green tea leaves have been gently hand-rolled and mixed with goji berries, lemongrass, pomegranate seeds and cornflower blossom. Brewing to a light reddish hue, it has an aroma full of fresh, fruity notes and a distinctive flavour that offers a harmonious balance of sencha, sweet goji berries and pomegranate, plus a hint of citrus from the lemongrass.

Characterised by a sweet, lingering taste, this fruit flavoured green tea is delicious and invigorating no matter what time of year.

The health benefits of this Goji Berry blend

The health benefits of goji berries have been recognised for centuries in their native China, where they are widely used in traditional medicine, everyday cooking and as an immune-boosting tea. Considered a superfood, goji berries are linked to several anti-ageing benefits, particularly skin and eye health, due to their high levels of an antioxidant called zeaxanthin. This carotenoid gives the berry its brilliant colour, and therefore its 'red diamond' nickname, and has been found to reduce the light-induced oxidative damage that leads to macular degeneration.

Being a red fruit with high levels of vitamin C, antioxidants and amino acids, goji berries are also associated with immune-boosting and flu-fighting properties. Meanwhile, the sencha tea leaves of this speciality blend come with their own health benefits: studies show that green tea may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, improve dental health and even fight cancer. With the added benefit of vitamin C-rich pomegranate seeds in the mix, a caddy of this unique tea is a must for your kitchen cabinet!
