The sakura, or Japanese cherry blossom, is one of the foremost symbols of Japan. Symbolizing the intense ephemeral nature of life, they bloom en masse once a year for a short week or two painting Japan pink and white before being blown away by the spring breeze in a beautiful shower of petals.

Sweet Sakura Tea from Obubu is made with sugared cherry blossoms (the kanzan variety) by their partner in Odawara, Kanagawa.
