Comparative Sensory Analysis

Dawn vs Earl Grey (black) vs Plain Sencha

Bergamot on green, on black, and plain tea

Body · Tannin

Dawn (Ours)

Earl Grey (black)

Plain Sencha

The Earl Grey that doesn't weigh you down: Dawn takes the emblematic bergamot of Earl Grey but places it on a fresh green Sencha base rather than a tannic black tea. The result: the same citrus signature, but with a vegetal lightness and a passion fruitiness that black tea doesn't have — ideal for a weightless awakening.

75 to 80°C, never boiling, 2 to 3 minutes, to preserve the bergamot and passion fruit notes without developing bitterness.

Is it a good morning tea?

Yes, that is its very purpose — a tonic and refined awakening, also to be enjoyed after lunch.

Can it be drunk iced?

Absolutely, it is ideal as a summer iced tea with a touch of citrus juice.
