2025 TTB. Somehow, this is reading more fully “cherry” than “sakura leaf” to me. I don’t really know how to explain the difference, but I know that it tastes more like black cherry soda than like sakura mochi or a straight sakura leaf herbal. The base isn’t really impressing me either. It’s drying in a way that I don’t really expect from green teas. I can’t seem to find an ingredients list anywhere, which is also annoying me – people might have allergies, etc. Maybe this would be better as a cold brew? Thankfully I only made a small cup because I’m trying to taste my way through the TTB.
