Sakura Ryokucha

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of a new seasonal delight: Sakura Ryokucha! This exquisite green tea captures the essence of spring in Japan, boasting a delicate sweetness and a hint of floral charm.

The Enchantment of Sakura

The sakura, or cherry blossom, holds significance in Japanese culture. Every spring, these delicate blooms erupt in a breathtaking display, painting the landscape with a fleeting, ethereal beauty, which echoes the impermanence of life and the preciousness of each moment. 

A Tea steeped in Tradition

Sakura Ryokucha is a unique blend of ryokucha, or green tea, known for its vibrant emerald green color and invigorating taste, and sakura blossoms. It’s a limited availability tea that signals the arrival of spring and all the renewal and growth that comes with it. Our ryokucha is produced from Japanese sencha and kukicha, resulting in a comforting flavor with mellow greens and a soft, approachable mouthfeel. Sakura blossoms add a subtle overlay of floral aromatics.

Sencha vs. Kukicha: Understanding the Tea Leaves

4 track tea’s Sakura Ryokucha is made from sencha and kukicha. Sencha is the most popular green tea in Japan, and a regular favorite around here, prized for its umami-rich taste and bright green liquor. Kukicha, also known as twig tea, is crafted from the stems and veins of the tea plant. It offers a milder flavor profile compared to sencha, with a slightly sweet and nutty character.

We invite you to tune in to Sakura Ryokucha. Savor the delicate floral notes and the refreshing essence of spring with every sip. This limited-edition tea is a perfect way to celebrate the beauty of the season and experience the rich tea traditions of Japan. We secured a modest quantity but are unable to reorder, so if you’re considering it, now’s the time!
