Here is a nice way to compliment your dragonwell. Simply add some cherry blossoms. It gives your sweet green tea the subtle flavor of cherries and a aromatic floral smell.

This is best served hot, but is good any time of the day. Enjoy.

This is perhaps the perfect sushi tea. It is a mild green tea with a hint of rice and popcorn. Yes, popcorn. I wasn’t sure if I would like this tea the first time I heard of it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Aside from having this with a meal, I’ve found that it is a nice evening tea.

Keep this one hot. While the taste is nice while warm. It becomes quite boring and bland once it is cool. Not recommended for iced tea.

Sakura - Japanese Cherry Blossoms

Teas:

  • Sakura, Japanese Cherry Blossom

3 minutes at 180°

There is simply nothing like this. In just 3 minutes this tea is rich with flavor. Depending on how much you use, it can be a very pale pink or a very dark, cherry red. To top it off, this tea smells like a cup of flowers. This tea cost a little more than usual, but can be great for special occasions.

Sakura is sometime produced just with cherry blossoms. This one however, has a mild green tea mixed in. It’s a nice balance to the cherry taste.

A pleasant green tea with a hint of apricots. It’s pretty good hot or cold. When it is cold, much more of a natural green tea flavor comes out.

Mint Pan-fired Green Tea

Add a little mint to your tea. It’s a great way to put a new twist on a common tea.

In this one, I added a little Spearmintadagio teas to some pan-fired green tea. Pan-fired tea is fairly mild and has a slight nutty flavor. Add a little mint, and it’s something completely different.

This is a little something I’ve picked up from childhood when I used to make sun-brewed tea. We would put a fresh stalk of mint in the glass container as it brewed. Then chill it down in the refrigerator. It’s very refreshing, especially on a hot summer day.
