2026 Japanese Sakura "Cherry Blossom" Green Tea
2026 Japanese Sakura "Cherry Blossom" Green Tea
In honor of Cherry Blossom Season, we present this delicious work of art in look, aroma and flavor. Handmade once a year at the start of spring. This comes directly to us from Japan! Unlike other “Cherry Blossom” teas, this has a shelf life because no artificial preservatives or flavorings are added. Its pure Sakura leaf and blossoms that her tenderly preserved in sugar instead of salt. (The sugar does not interfere with the flavor.) The liquor is a beautiful green that is crisp and bright. The taste is floral with a lingering clean finish and a natural sweetness of cherry blossoms that lingers on the palate.
We have a limited amount and this can not be made again this year!
