We are happy to announce the arrival of our seasonal SAKURA HOUJI: the comforting, toasty aroma of quality Japanese houjicha (roasted green tea) is blended with an abundance of salted cherry blossom leaves. Recommended for enjoying with Japanese style sweets and for a special springtime ochazuke (tea poured over hot rice). Only available in limited quantity.
Inspired by a cherry blossom viewing party, this design depicts a shimedaiko (a taiko drum used for music accompaniment) and sakura blossoms against a warm background shade evocative of fragrant roasted tea. Ideal for serving or presenting with Japanese style sweets, making it a perfect springtime small gift.
