Lucullus is famous for bringing the cherry to Rome, during his journey through Anatolia in 72 BC. He was just as famous for his sumptuous banquets and his love of fine food and aquaculture. This tea is indebted to Lucullus on more than one count. The fragrant pink cherry-blossom flowers give this Sencha its delicate cherry flavour and its wonderful scent. Savour its freshness on a hot summer’s day, whenever you long to escape, or at all your banquets — perhaps a little too well-watered.
