Product Description:
A blend of sencha, sugared Sakura (Japanese cherry blossom) leaves, dried Sakura blossom petals from tea factory Chasandai in Shimane Prefecture, Japan.Temperature: 175° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 1 minute
The dry leaves have a savory and sweet aroma with notes of sakura (I was reminding of sakura mochi), and marine green.
The liquor is light green with a rich, buttery, and nutty green aroma and a hint of sweet sakura. The taste is savory, smooth, nutty, and green with just a hint of sweetness and a sakura finish.
I was very pleased with how the sakura and sweetened sakura leaves didn't take over. Rather than being perfumed and sugar-sweet, the flavor was like drinking a cup of good sencha after eating sakura mochi and the aroma could have easily been attributed to a passing breeze carrying the blossom scent. The sakura notes deepened from just a hint to pleasantly light midway into the cup. After the first infusion, this became more like a nice, unflavored sencha with mild astringency developing and sakura notes fading almost completely by the second and third infusions.
