This green tea seamlessly blends Japanese sencha, kukicha and cherry blossoms together in a delicious and delightful treat. This tea is flavorful yet light and enjoyable both hot and cold. Sakura Sencha is made only once a year to commemorate the coming of Spring. The cherry blossoms, sakura in Japanese, are preserved in sugar which adds a very delicate sweetness to the cup.
