The delicate wafting scent of cherry blossoms in "Cherry Blossom Sencha" brings an involuntary smile to your face.
Rather than using artificial fragrances, real cherry blossom leaves are added during the tea kneading process, resulting in a natural yet powerful flavor that fills your mouth. When pairing with mugwort mochi, which embodies the budding power of spring, it's recommended to brew at a higher temperature for a more aromatic and concentrated extraction.
