Sakura Sencha

Sakura Sencha

Sakura, a cherry blossom is the national flower of Japan. It represents a time of renewal and optimism. The pops of pink mark the ending of winter and signify the beginning of spring. Due to their quick blooming season, cherry blossoms also symbolize the transience of life, a major theme in Buddhism.

Sakura Sencha captures the essence of the Japanese cherry blossom. The blend of Sencha green tea, pink and white flower petals, rosehips and cherry and honey flavours results in exquisite tea. Upon first opening the package, one is immediately enveloped by the lovely appearance and alluring fragrance. The same sensation repeats itself when the tea is brewed, making for an all-around satisfying experience.
