Clean and light flavor; this would be a good tea with some light food or snacks. This is one of the teas that Lupicia suggest 3.7 oz (110ml) of water to steep with.

A flavorful tea; it isn’t overpowered by the matcha so its balanced well between the two teas. This tea steeps in 45-60 seconds and also uses less water; I am guessing if one were to use too much water or oversteep this tea, it probably wouldn’t taste this good.

A good tea; upon opening the packaging, the fragrant smell of cherries reminds me of the fresh fruit. I like that this particular Lupicia tea doesn’t taste like Japanese gum like so many of the Lupicia blends. I wish it had a sharper taste but I think many will like that it has a smooth aftertaste of fresh cherries rather than a tart flavor.

A bit tart but not overly fruity like the hibiscus based fruit teas; a bit like a tart fruit punch.

If you like the taste of Rooibos, you might like this one. It has a soft strawberry and vanilla flavor while still being able to taste the Rooibos. Sometimes Rooibos has a medicine-like flavor; in this particular case it was fairly strong. If you dislike the flavor of Rooibos but want drink it, I’d recommend trying Ronnefeldt’s Orange Cream Tea.

This tea is a bit mild; the sakura and berry is light and the black tea base isn’t that strong too. If you want something stronger, probably need to steep this a bit more.

Steeped this less than 2 minutes, so I think I got a lighter tea than usual; a light roasted green tea with a sakura finish, nice.

Overall it is okay, but I personally don’t like it much. It might be good if you like the flavor of rooibos and want a little extra flavoring – the sakura adds a little lightness and floral scent to cut down on the woody, herbal taste of the rooibos.

This is a little too mild in my opinion. I could steep this longer but Lupicia recommends 1.5-2 minutes and I already threw away the sachet. If I were to steep this longer I think it would have too much green flavor, like matcha powder flavor – some might like this though. The salty sakura flavor isn’t very pronounced.

Not bad! I was a bit sceptical if the black soybeans would taste okay in genmai-cha. I don’t drink genmai that often but I do enjoy it on occasion. The roasted rice flavor is toned down so you can taste the black beans; a good blending of the two flavors. I steeped it for 2-3 minutes even though it should be like 30-60 seconds.
