Sencha Sakura

• Sencha green tea with natural cherry blossoms

• To celebrate Mother Nature’s spectacular once-a-year cherry blossom season we welcome the return of our Sencha Sakura tea. This sweetly perfumed tea is a delicious and satisfying blend of high-quality Japanese Sencha from Shizuoka Prefecture combined with tiny pink dried Sakura blossoms. The subtle fragrance of these tiny pink cherry blossoms yields a fragrant and alluring cup that is a perfect harbinger of the new season.

• As with the fleeting cherry tree blossoms themselves, our Sencha Sakura tea is made briefly only once each year from carefully reserved tea leaves and dried Sakura blossoms from the previous year’s harvest – cheering the transition from one year’s season to the next.

• Foil-pouch packed & sealed in Japan

• Available now – Sencha Sakura is a thoughtful gift to tuck inside a lovely gift basket for your favorite tea drinker !

We take our responsibility to our customers seriously, as do our Japanese tea growers.

Many distinctively-scented flowers are used to scent tea. The base tea for these scented teas can be black tea, oolong, white tea, and even occasionally green tea. Flowers used range from the classic and familiar rose-scented black tea to the less-well-known-in-the-west osmanthus (sweet almond), yulan, and magnolia-scented oolongs.

For the cherry blossom festivals In early spring in Japan, sencha that has been scented with cherry blossoms is offered as the delicious and celebratory Sencha Sakura. Tea enthusiasts enjoy this finely-scented tea in anticipation of a good harvest in the up-coming tea season.
