Hanadoki (“flowering season” in Japanese) is our original blend of cherry blossoms, sencha (sun-grown green tea), and rose petals. This year’s batch is extra special because we’ve used tea from the PARU tea estate in Nara. We recommend steeping this tea in glassware for up to two minutes for an earthy, floral, and subtly sweet brew.

Kyoto Dreaming

This tea made me think about walking along the banks of Kyoto's Philosopher’s Walk, hearing the pleasant stream, and enjoying the company of the trees.

WOW

I truly have never tasted anything like it. While o enjoy tea, I would not consider myself a “tea drinker” and I cannot stop talking about Paru! Lovely experience and somehow even better tea. The green tea mixed with the cherry blossom is delicate. Thank you Paru!

Hanadoki

Love the combination of the green tea and the floral hint from sakura blossoms and rose petals. Love the slight sweet taste. It has an amazing aroma to it and it's so pretty to steep in a clear glass teapot or gaiwan

Obsessed!

Green tea + sakura = perfection! This is my second favorite sakura tea this year (the first being the limited Issho Ni blend that Paru sold at the Japanese Friendship Garden. Hope that makes a comeback next year!)
