Japanese Cherry Green Tea

Our Japanese Cherry Green Tea is a wonderful, traditionally flavored green tea. It starts with a light, perfumy cherry scent and finishes with a delicate cherry flavor which dances on your tongue. We personally add a bit of sweetener which brings out the cherry flavor a bit more. Everyone is different of course.

This tea is starts with a base of fine Sencha green tea. Freeze-dried Cherry pieces and cherry flavor is then added to create this tempting, light tea. Close your eyes and you might envision yourself in a Japanese Tea House.

In Japan, cherries are very essential to Japanese culture. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival, also known as Hanami, (which means “viewing flowers”), takes place in the Spring. The dates vary with the region since the weather in each region affects the blossoming of the cherry trees. People gather in parks to just view the beautiful trees. They only blossom for about 2 weeks, so these festivals are very special. Families will assemble picnics in the parks, which makes the festival into a social experience as well. They also gather to view the blossoming of plum trees. Hanami has been part of the Japanese inspired poems and other cultural for over 1000 years.

Cherry Blossom and Cherry Festivals are held in other countries, celebrating these beautiful flowers. In Washington, DC, the cherry trees around the National Mall and on the Potomac Tidal basin are Japanese Cherry Trees, for which an annual festival has been held since 1934. The Cherry trees were a gift from the Mayor of Tokyo in 1912. The National Cherry Festival is held in Traverse City, Michigan, where 75% of the Sour Cherries and 25% of the Sweet Cherries in the US are grown. It attracts over 500,000 for the week.

Hot tea brewing method: Put 1 slightly heaping tsp of loose tea for each 8oz of water in the cup or teapot. Pour the boiled but slightly cooled water over tea. Steep 3 to 7 minutes. Milk is not recommended, but sweeten to taste if you desire. Also makes a wonderful Iced Tea.

Iced Tea: For a Liter or quart use 2 heaping Tbsp. of loose tea into teapot. Pour 1 1/4 cup boiled but slightly cooled water over tea. Steep 5 minutes. Quarter fill serving pitcher straining tea. Add Ice. Top up with cold water, garnish & sweeten to taste.

If you like Cherry teas, we also carry a Cherry Rose Rooibos, which has a delicate Rose flavor on top of the Cherry flavor and a Rooibos base tea, and Sencha Kyoto Cherry Rose Green Tea.  We also have Cherry Almond Black Tea.  The name says it all and the flavor can’t be missed.
