In the Know

Every year between the months of March and May, Japan's hillsides and streets are veiled with an ethereal fantasy of "pink snow." This remarkable vision is produced by the falling flowers of the cherry blossom tree, known in Japan as Sakura. The flower is a cultural icon and is celebrated each year in the ancient custom called Hanami, a ceremonial tradition in Japan. Hanami can be translated as flower viewing. During this fleeting season, the flower blooms only briefly, and is considered a metaphor for the transient aspect of human existence. Additionally, springtime represents a time of renewal. The Cherry Blossom Festival unites people in a celebration of nature's beauty and life, shared by rejoicing in food and drink, all inspired by the beloved Cherry Blossom Tree. During the festival, there are many food and drinks created with the Sakura flower.

Developing Our Blend

The petal is naturally mild in taste, but when soaked and salted the flower becomes concentrated and is then ready to be used in food and drinks. Desserts made from dried petals soaked in salt solution are mixed with red bean paste, which forms the basis of many traditional desserts, including Sakura Mochi, the one we wanted to extract the essence of to duplicate for our Japanese Cherry Blossom Tea.

The task at hand was not easy, due to the fact that the Sakura leaf, when soaked in a salt solution, has a salty, as opposed to sweet base. This is where we tested our creativity, by seeking to develop balanced ingredients that would produce complimenting flavors. Our blender eventually succeeded in developing a process that worked.

Exquisite Results

We select petals from a specific region of Japan, which consistently results in the most enticing floral aroma. Finding the perfect tea to compliment the delicate blossoms took a while, but in the end we settled on incorporating a black tea that was light enough to avoid overpowering the blossoms, but strong enough to provide the perfect amount of oomph.

    I got a free 5th chakra tea in a subscription box that I recieve (Crystal Council) and it was absolutely amazing so I figured I would try some more. Couldn't be more pleased. Not only did they pack the tea very nicely, you can tell it is fresh and of the best ingredients. You have officially replaced Tetley in my life! Thank you, Buddha Teas! The Japanese Chery Blossom tea is delicate and refreshing.

    Big fan of black tea, but I often have trouble getting a variety of flavors since tea makers usually add really bright and overwhelmingly sweet flavors to black tea. If your customer is a fan of black tea, they might just enjoy subtle sweetness that keeps that rich black tea flavor. This is a perfect blend of dark tea with light cherry flavor! Love love love it, pllleassse keep it forever. THANKS!

    This has to be one of the best tea I've drank in my entire life. It has the perfect yet subtle cherry flavor. It's an absolute 10/10 for me. However, I didn't realize it had caffeine in it, and I drank like 7 cups of it over 24 hours. Whoops. Ruined my sleep cycle but it was so worth it.

    I have tried 3 of the black teas (Assam/Breakfast/Japanese Cherry). Out of the 3 teas the Cherry Blossom is my favorite and I am not necessarily a floral tea drinker. I enjoyed the other two but I could appreciate the subtle floral nature of this tea. I would definitely encourage you to a least try them all and compare.

    We tried this because it came in our Sips By subscription box and we immediately bought a box for us and for my mom. It's honestly the best tea I've ever had. It's not overly floral like Jasmine tea and it doesn't have that bitterness you get from most black teas. It's super smooth and super tasty. While it's a bit more than I'd usually spend on tea, the tea is totally worth the extra cost. Also, this really doesn't matter but I like the packaging lol. Oh! And I almost forgot, after we ordered it we got it within just a few days, much quicker than I was expecting, so that was also a plus.

    This was my third reorder of Japanese Cherry Blossom Tea. Usually I avoid anything cherry flavored as most such products taste artificial. But this tea is different. There's a deep note of cherry in a smooth black tea. For me, it invokes images of cherry blossoms and a sense of peace.
