Sakura Ryokucha Green

Sakura Ryokucha is a superb blend of Sencha, Kukicha, and Sakura leaf and flower. The blend of Sencha and Kukicha is well harmonized with Sakura’s natural flavor. The natural and friendly flavor of Sakura evolves in your mouth and nose while you enjoy the umami and freshness of Sencha and Kukicha.

Unlike normal preservation process of the Sakura flower, the flower in this tea is sugar so that it does not disturb the green tea flavor and gives a subtle sweetness (no sugar is added to the tea; only used to preserve the flower). 

Did you know, freshly dried Sakura flower also foretells of a happy spring? Enjoy your own Happy Spring as you sip your tea.
