This is a fresh and smooth green Sencha tea with excellent body and depth. The bright cherry and subtle rose flavors give this tea a wildly exotic character unique in its own right.
The tea used in this savory blend is grown only from March to April and the quality is clearly tasted in every cup. The Hunan Province is renowned for producing excellent Japanese style green teas and our Organic Kyoto Cherry Rose tea is a prime example. We invite you to brew a cup and taste the difference.

Company description not available.
Smells: Buttery, sweet like candied flowers.
Taste: Wow. I don’t like floral teas but this tastes great. Like a tea time cake topped with flowers while rolling around in the spring grass outside. It is very smooth and not astringent at all. Not too vegetal or grassy as some green teas can be. The after taste at the back of the throat is reminiscent of lettuce, but very faint.
This is one of the best green teas I’ve tried recently and it is very easy to brew. The rose does not add a perfume or soap taste like I’ve had in the past and it blends well with the green tea. The packaging recommended 3-7 minutes and I brewed it for 3 minutes with slightly cooled 175 degree water.
Flavors: Cake, Dry Grass, Marzipan, Rose, Violet

For me, no other tea exemplifies spring to me than a cherry tea like this. It makes me think of the cherry blossom trees.
And this is a refreshing cherry rose tea. The rose is strong without being too floral or soapy. The cherry notes are sweet without tasting too much like cough syrup. A good balance has been achieved with this tea and I quite enjoyed it. I don’t know if it was my favorite spring cherry tea but I liked it.
