Japanese Sakura Iri Kukicha

This Japanese Sakura Iri Kukicha is a refined green tea, enhanced with delicate pink sakura cherry blossoms. This exquisite tea blend combines the stems of Kukicha tea with blossoms that are gently harvested during the cherry blossom season in Japan. The blossoms and petals are softly salted to preserve their vibrant colour and freshness. The sakura leaf gives the tea a deep, green note. The flavour of Sakura Kukicha tea is floral and fresh, with a hint of saltiness and a rich creamy umami note.

About Sakura

In Japanese culture, sakura blossoms have profound symbolic and emotional significance. Sakura, also known as cherry blossom, is a symbol of beauty, transience, and new beginnings. The cherry blossoms in spring are a highlight of the Japanese calendar and a remarkable natural spectacle, with the trees blooming in various shades of pink and white. This brief, magnificent blooming period is known as Hanami, which literally means "viewing flowers". Many people find the beauty of the sakura blossom soothing and relaxing.

Effects

Green tea is invigorating and has numerous health benefits. It soothes the stomach and intestines thanks to its tannins, has antibacterial properties, and prevents tooth decay. Additionally, it regulates blood pressure, boosts metabolism, and can strengthen the immune system.
