櫻花

The cherry flavor actually tastes fresh and plump, not like candy, and it comes through clean over the green tea. Steeping it for about two minutes keeps it smooth without any bitterness.

The green tea base keeps the cherry from getting too sweet, which I was worried about. Steeping it for about three minutes gives a really clean, fragrant cup that actually smells like spring.

Steeped a cup this morning and the cherry flavor is genuinely plump and fragrant, not artificial at all. It’s like sipping a sunny April day in Tokyo, and the green tea base stays smooth without turning bitter.
