Boranup Forest Green Sencha

Boranup Forest Green Sencha is a Chinese green tea in the sencha style. The maker says the leaves are steam rolled and then dried, which gives a bright emerald green leaf, a smooth grassy flavour and a delicate smell. The listing is a 70 g pack of loose leaf, and the only ingredient is China green sencha.

The maker's brewing instructions are 1 teaspoon of loose leaf per 200 ml cup, in a teapot or infuser, with boiling water, left to infuse for 2 minutes. Green tea is often brewed with water below boiling; if you find the cup bitter, try cooler water or a shorter time. The tea is named after Boranup Forest. Explore Parks WA says the forest lies between Caves Road and the coast, that its pale-barked karri trees reach 50 m or more, and that it is the westernmost place karri trees grow.

The maker's other teas we list are Sri Lankan blacks and a chai: Ellensbrook English Breakfast, Injidup Earl Grey and Kilcarnup Chai. The sencha is the green one, and the Wilyabrup Iced Tea is the herbal one.

Made by Margaret River Tea Company, which says it has been operating since 2018, hand blends its teas where possible and hand packs every blend in Margaret River. It sells in resealable bags and amber jars, and many of its blends are named after South West landscapes.
