Inspired by Botticelli’s coastal masterpiece, this green tea blend captures the clarity of sea air and light. The subtle umami of organic green tea echoes the mineral edge of the ocean, while rose and cornflower reference the florals that frame Venus as she rises from the shore. Fresh, balanced, and luminous, it is a blend that feels both composed and invigorating.
From Our Tea Sommelier
The Four Steps to Tasting Like a Sommelier
Behind the Blend
Every Forgrave blend is designed to be read the same way: aroma, color, body, and finish. It is the sequence Catherine uses to taste each blend she composes, a multisensory way of experiencing the tea that moves from first breath to last trace. Flavor lives inside body and finish, arriving on the palate at first sip and lingering long after.
Step One
Aroma
Breathe it in before the first sip. Aroma sets the expectation for what the palate is about to meet and often carries more of the tea than the tongue alone will register.
Rose lifts first and full, a soft floral sweetness resting over the fresh grassiness of green tea beneath.
Step Two
Color
Tilt the cup toward the light and study the liquor, the color of the brewed tea. Each tea has a distinct and expected hue, and its clarity is the first signal of a leaf steeped properly.
A pale green-gold flecked with blue cornflower, light and clear in the cup.
Step Three
Body
Take a slow sip and let it rest across the whole palate. This is where flavor first arrives, alongside the weight and texture of the tea on the tongue.
Light and rounded, green tea lift carrying the front while rose fills the middle and cornflower settles soft beneath.
Step Four
Finish
Breathe out gently after you swallow and notice what lingers. Much of flavor is carried on the exhale as aroma returns through the nose, so the finish is where a tea reveals its final notes.
Rose fades gently as green tea grassiness holds to the close.
