The traditional flavor of sakura Japanese cherry blossoms paired with sencha green tea from Makinohara, Shizuoka.
Company description not available.
I normally enjoy sakura flavored teas but I didn’t care for the artificial taste of this one. The dry leaf appearance is striking with its dark green, mostly full leaf blades interspersed with beautiful tiny pink buds. The leaves smell like cherry blossom, bubble gum, and slightly medicinal. Wet leaf smells like cherry cough syrup.
First steep produced a clear yellowish-green liquor. The cough syrup flavor from the aroma hits you first and then cherry blossoms appear in the background, fighting against the artificial flavoring. The second steep had more cough syrup, a bit of astringency, and a fainter cherry blossom note.
Going to try blending this with a regular sencha because the flavoring is too strong when drunk straight up.
Flavors: Artificial, Cherry Blossom, Medicinal
