Pretty Sakura Tea

I've tried my first sachet of the Sakura Tea that I bought yesterday.

It smells like "plum" when I tore the little golden sachet open and the flowers are all damp and moist, sticking to the sides of the sachet - which honestly does look a little unappetizing and unappealing at first.

I managed to push all the flowers down into the pot of water and WAH!!! So pretty on contact with water! The flowers literally bloom! Let it infuse for a minute or two and it's ready.

I think I added too much water. Will use less the next time.

The first sip tasted salty to me, a little like light soya sauce. But once the tea goes down, a natural sweet aftertaste comes up and fills the whole palate.

Though I used a little too much water, I can still taste the sweetness but it's not strong. So I guess, if I used less water, the taste would be stronger and sweeter!

I love the way the flowers bloom in the water! So pretty!

I think I want to go get some more flower tea. It's too pretty to not drink! I think by looking at it, I will get happier and it's also a form of therapy?

Retail + Colors + Aromatherapy all in one?!
