Hanadoki, or “flowering season” in Japanese, comprises three simple ingredients: sencha from the PARU Tea Estate in Nara, cherry blossoms from Kyoto, and rose petals.
Together, they represent the softness and complexity of spring. To fully appreciate its visual components, we recommend steeping this floral green tea for up to two minutes.
This is a limited restock of an event-exclusive tea from the 2025 Cherry Blossom Festival held at the Japanese Friendship Garden & Museum in Balboa Park.
