Sakura Cherry Rose White

For centuries, the Japanese have had a love affair with Cherry Blossoms, known in Japan as Sakura. The tiny flowers bloom and blossom in the spring, filling the branches of trees and gently falling to the ground as the wind rustles the branches. Images of Sakura can be found everywhere in Japan – they are to the Japanese what Apple Pie is to Americans. Sakura found its prominent place in the spiritual identity of Japan during the Heian period, 794 - 1185 AD. The rulers and holy people of the time drew much inspiration from Chinese culture, in particular Buddhism and Confucianism, whit great importance placed on peaceful meditation. Light but full bodied, the cup offers delicate rose notes and sweetly astringent cherry notes. A fabulous tea for relaxing an afternoon away.
