I love this tea! It tastes exactly like sakura when you steep it properly. I drink this when I crave for the sakura jelly (with real sakura inside) that I bought in Japan.
Here’s how I prepare this tea:
1. Pour 1/4 cup of 80c water on 1 tbsp of Sakura! Sakura! tea. Steep for 15 secs.
2. Drain the water. You won’t be needing it.
3. Pour 1 cup of 85c water on the strained tea leaves. Steep for 1m15s.
I add sugar to enhance the flavor of the cherry blossoms. And yes, you’ll definitely taste the sakura MORE when the tea is colder.
