Information: Cherry Blossom green tea is fresh and smooth with reasonable depth and body. The cherry flavoring and subtle rose hints give the tea a wonderful character. During the spring time Kyoto is ablaze with the new season cherry blossoms and the air is filled with sweet aroma. (The rose petals in this blend are intended to simulate these delicate cherry blossoms and the flavor is reminiscent of the beautiful smells waft on the springtime breezes.) It is little wonder that this ancient city has a very high ratio of tea rooms and this tea was created to honor (very important in Japan) this wonderful time of the year.

Hot tea brewing method: Use water that is about 180’F or 80’C. Place 1 teaspoon of tea in your cup, let the tea steep for about 3 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment.

Iced tea brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste.
