Yeah, it is still on my menu...and so easy to brew, I approach it very casually, as casually as a structured, perfectionist, near OCD person is able.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Heh. It's sad how well I understand (and resemble) this remark.

The Sakura Sencha from Den's is surprisingly good as iced tea. After hearing a few other people mention that they had as an iced tea, I tried it by just making a couple steeps of it hot and throwing it in a water bottle in the fridge. It's really tasty!

If you enjoy light and floral green teas, cherry blossom sencha is a great choice. It has the fresh, slightly grassy taste of sencha with a gentle cherry blossom aroma that feels smooth and refreshing. For best results, brew it at a lower temperature around 70–80 °C for about 1–2 minutes to avoid bitterness.

You can also try the Sakura Green Tea from The Tea Group. It has a nice balance of sencha and cherry blossom flavor and is a good option if you want something simple and pleasant to drink.

If you liked Republic of Tea’s cherry blossom, you might enjoy sakura green tea, cherry rose blends, or a light jasmine tea. A lot of shops have seasonal spring cherry blossom teas right now too!

Thanks for the advice, I will try it.
Nice discussion, always interesting learning from others’ experiences. I’ve been preparing casac topics, so this feels engaging.

Any recommendations this year?
If you liked it before, you might like a loose-leaf Jasmine Silver Needle this year. It's usually smooth, lightly floral, and a step up without being too expensive. Just make sure it smells natural and not too strong.
