This black tea is a real bunch of flowers from the country of the Rising Sun. Hanami means 'watching flowers bloom' in Japanese.
On a black tea from China, we have added tiare flowers, heliotrope (Mediterranean purple flower), jasmine flowers, tulip flowers, vanilla and cherimoya (white-fleshed tropical fruit from South America similar to cinnamon apple ). Decorated with flowers of mallow and violet.
When we name a new tea, there is always this desire to open a breach towards the imagination, an invitation to travel from the first syllables. WithHanami, we take you to Tokyo, to the heart of Ueno Park, when the first cherry trees open at the beginning of April like a promise of rebirth.
Under the Cherry Trees – A Season in Suspended
Hanami, literally “flower gazing,” is much more than just a seasonal ritual in Japan. It's an art of living focused on the ephemeral, a suspended moment where nature, in its greatest delicacy, reveals itself to be seen and felt. For a few days, the entire country slows down, as if held in suspense by this explosion of pale pink and snow white, fragile and triumphant at the same time. The parks are adorned with strollers, colorful fans, and tablecloths carefully unrolled on the still-fresh grass. It's a celebration of the present moment, of beauty in its most fleeting form.
Our Hanami tea was born from this atmosphere, and from a personal experience. Our flavorist lived in Japan for several years. For her, the Hanami season was not just about spectacular blooms: it was synonymous with floating sweetness, feverish anticipation, and happy melancholy. It was the scent of tiare that she found on silk scarves, jasmine in hot inn baths, vanilla and cherimoya in the sweets shared at evening picnics. Flowers, fruits, the warm air, and the slower passage of time—all these elements became the pillars of the composition she imagined for Hanami.
Tea and food pairings
Hanami is best enjoyed with a fragrant mochi, a matcha financier, a rose rice pudding, or an orange blossom shortbread. Hanami black tea also lends itself to iced infusion, for a summer hanami, a moment suspended beneath the branches, barefoot on the warm earth.
Tea-based recipes and cocktails
Cold brewed with a few pear slices and fresh flowers, Hanami becomes a floral and fruity iced tea, both elegant and evocative. In a cocktail, it pairs wonderfully with a dash of flower liqueur, a splash of white grape juice, or an infusion of sweet sake. Add a few cut ice cubes, a crystallized petal, or a hint of spring honey to create a poetic aperitif, full of nuances, as graceful as a petal carried by the wind.
