Senses is a gift box from Akbar that brings together herbal infusions, green tea and fruit blends: six flavours, ten pyramid tea bags of each, 60 bags in all. Each flavour sits in its own small carton inside a white, fold-open presentation box.
The range runs from a crisp mint green tea to creamy rooibos and a berry blend, so there is a cup for most times of day. The box is light and slim, which makes it easy to post or pack in a suitcase as a gift.
The six flavours
- Moroccan Mint: green tea with spearmint
- Forest Fruit: a juicy, tart berry blend
- Camomile Twist: chamomile with a hint of citrus
- Rooibos Cream: rooibos with creamy vanilla notes
- Ginseng Punch: a bold blend with ginseng and spice
- Lemongrass Ginger: zesty lemongrass with warming ginger
How to brew
- 1 bag per cup
- Green tea blends: about 80°C, 2-3 minutes
- Herbal and fruit blends: freshly boiled water, about 5 minutes
- Lift the bag out without squeezing; plain or with honey
Blended and packed in Sri Lanka by Akbar Brothers, Colombo, the country's largest exporter of Ceylon tea.
