WACHA introduces its seasonal Sakura Matcha（Pink Sakura Matcha）Collection, inspired by Japan’s spring tradition of cherry blossoms.
The collection features Pink Cherry Blossom Matcha made with sakura blossom powder, capturing the delicate aroma and color of sakura.
Paired with edible Japanese sakura petals, each cup becomes a small hanami moment — a quiet way to experience spring through tea.
The Tradition of Sakura Tea
Cherry blossoms are the symbol of spring in Japan.
While most people experience sakura by watching the flowers bloom, Japan also has a tradition of drinking cherry blossoms.
This tradition is known as sakura tea.
When hot water is poured over a cherry blossom, the petals slowly open in the cup, creating a drink that feels as if spring itself is blooming in the tea.
Sakura tea dates back to the Edo period and is often served at celebrations such as weddings.
Cherry blossoms symbolize
new beginnings
beauty
the arrival of spring
which makes them perfect for special occasions.

Preparing Sakura Matcha at home is simple and relaxing.
All you need is matcha powder, warm water or milk, and optionally a cherry blossom petal.
Basic Sakura Matcha
1 teaspoon (about 2g) Sakura Matcha
70–80 ml warm water
Whisk the matcha gently with a bamboo whisk or mix with a spoon until smooth and lightly frothy.
Sakura Matcha Latte
1 teaspoon Sakura Matcha
a small amount of warm water
150 ml warm milk
First mix the matcha with a little warm water to dissolve the powder, then add milk for a soft pink matcha latte.
Hanami Sakura Matcha
For a special spring moment, add a sakura petal to your drink.
As the petal slowly opens, the cup becomes a small hanami tea ritual, celebrating the beauty of cherry blossoms.

to create a delicate cherry blossom flavor.
Drinking Spring
Cherry blossoms bloom only for a short time each year.
That is why they are cherished in Japan.
When added to the cup, the cherry blossom petals bring a gentle hanami moment to your drink.
A small taste of spring.
