Sakura - Japanese cherry blossoms. This herbal tea is made with whole salt-pickled sakura blossoms. The sakura, or Japanese cherry blossom, is one of the foremost symbols of Japan.
Symbolizing the intense ephemeral nature of life, they bloom en masse once a year for a short week or two painting Japan pink and white before being blown away by the spring breeze in a beautiful shower of petals. Sakura Tea is made with salt-pickled cherry blossoms (the kanzan variety) by our partner in Odawara, Kanagawa. The taste that results from the salt-pickling of the blossoms is a flavor standard in Japan for drinking as tea.
However, the salted cherry blossoms are quite flexible as well, and taste great with Japanese sake, mixed with rice (to make sakura rice), cookies, and cakes! We also highly recommend adding them to sencha or genmaicha tea for that uniquely Japanese spring flavor.
The flavor of these sakura
In Japan though, you''ll find sakura-flavored Kit Kats, sakura-flavored lattes at Starbucks, as well as traditional Japanese sweets. If you''ve never had sakura-flavored tea before, be prepared for a delicious and truly Japanese experience!!
