The Endless Spring Collection

Savor the Essence of Japanese Spring  

Let yourself be transported to the beauty and tranquility of Kyoto's springtime with our exquisite Sakura Sencha. This unique blend combines the finest sencha from the Kyoto region with delicate sakura petals, offering a sensory journey that captures the essence of Japan's most cherished season.

The Heritage of Kyoto Sencha

 The Kyoto region, encompassing renowned areas such as Uji and Wazuka, is celebrated for producing some of Japan's finest sencha. The region's ideal climate and rich, well-drained soils create the perfect conditions for cultivating high-quality tea. Sencha from Kyoto is known for its vibrant green color, fresh aroma, and a balanced, umami-rich flavor that reflects the meticulous cultivation methods passed down through generations. By blending this premium sencha with sakura petals, we create a tea that is both refreshing and evocative of spring.

The Spectacle of Sakura Petals

Sakura, or cherry blossoms, symbolize renewal and the fleeting beauty of life in Japanese culture. The inclusion of sakura petals in our sencha not only enhances its visual appeal but also imparts a subtle floral note that complements the grassy, sweet taste of sencha. This delicate blend invites you to savor the ephemeral beauty of the sakura season any time of the year and transports you to Kyoto's picturesque landscapes, where cherry blossoms gently dance in the breeze.

Cultural Significance

Sakura Sencha is more than just a tea; it's a tribute to Japanese culture and the timeless tradition of hanami, or cherry blossom viewing. By enjoying this tea, you become part  of a centuries-old ritual that honors the transient beauty of nature and the joys of seasonal change, encapsulated in the Japanese concept of “mono no aware”.

Perfect Pairings

To enhance your Sakura Sencha experience, consider pairing it with traditional Japanese sweets such as sakura-mochi or wagashi. These delicacies accentuate the tea's floral and umami notes, creating a delightful harmony of flavors that will elevate your tea-drinking experience.
