    4 Cherry Blossom Sakura Teas You Need To Drink Now!

    5 Cherry Blossom Sakura Teas You Need To Drink Now NOMSS.com Food Blog

    Every spring a dusty array of Millennial Pink coats the city with cherry blossoms. While pictures of sakura probably is flooding your Instagram, the truth is the taste of cherry blossoms is even better than their smell. The flowers and leaves of the cherry tree contain a small amount of coumarin that provides a distinctive delicious roasted almond and sweet hay aroma. In Japan, to enjoy the flavour cherry blossoms all year, fresh cherry blossoms are preserved in salt (sakura no shiozuke 桜の塩漬け), and then used to flavour rice, tea and sweets. Plum vinegar is added to the cherry blossom brine to accentuate the pink hue and fruity taste.

    One of my favourite way to enjoy Sakura is in tea. Here are four Sakura-yu teas you should definitely try!
