Organic Sencha Sakura - The essence of Japanese spring
Is there anything more Japanese than "sakura"? The delicate blossoms of the cherry tree, a symbol of spring, beauty, and transience, are now famous worldwide. But it's not just their velvety appearance, color, and fragrance that delight the senses—their taste is also unique, sweet, and delicate. Our organic sencha blend Sakura captures this essence by combining the sweet and delicate aromas of dried and candied sakura blossoms with the refreshing bitterness of sencha.
With the start of the cherry blossom season in March on Kyushu, the "sakura zensen" or "cherry blossom front" moves northward until it reaches Hokkaido in May. This time is celebrated throughout Japan with " O-Hanami ," the traditional cherry blossom festival . Friends, family, and acquaintances gather with picnic baskets under the blossoming trees, enjoying food and drinks together. Beer, sake, and of course, green tea are always part of the festivities.
Our organic Sencha Sakura combines high-quality green tea leaves with sugar-preserved blossoms of the Japanese cherry tree . This floral, fragrant green tea comes in a cheerful, colorful package in authentic Japanese style, making it the perfect gift for loved ones – ideal for a spring picnic!
Preparation (our recommendation):
- 300 ml water, 70 degrees
- 4-6 g (3 tsp) tea
- 1-2 minutes steeping time
Tea is a personal thing. Here's our preparation tip, but feel free to experiment with the quantities and temperature.
