I am a serious tea drinker and received this fragrant, healthy, delicately flavored green tea as a Christmas gift. It is delightful and has become the way I start my morning. I've sipped plenty of green teas over the years. This one is unique. I will ordering more when I run out. It smells and tastes like spring.
Julie, your review is as welcome as a breath of spring air! We appreciate your getting in touch and letting us know just what Kyoto Cherry Rose has meant to you..
This is my favorite tea. The combination of flavors is wonderful. And Susan at Good Life Tea does a great job taking care of my tea drinking needs.
Thanks, Fred, it's always great to hear from a happy customer. Just don't forget Good Life Tea carries more than 120 other teas so keep your tummy happy and try some others some time. Variety is the spice of life!
Absolutely one of my favorite teas! I love how it actually tastes like green tea! The combo of green tea with the floral and cherry flavor is the highlight of my mornings!
Kyoto Cherry Rose is the favorite tea of the owner of Good Life Tea, Rob OBrien. He grew up in Japan and drank tea daily. The combination of the cherry tastes and the sencha fuji greeen tea reminds him of home.

But it wasn't always ...As the tale goes, the plain, hearty “Bancha” leaves that form this tea's base have long been a regular countryside tradition.

Thus Bancha represented summer and the thoughts that came with the warm, wet season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn times of scarcity, even Bancha became hard to obtain.

Tea and Rice.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToasted, summery, but green through and through, it's no surprise that Genmaicha is a current word-of-mouth favorite among Japanese professionals. But it wasn't always ...As the tale goes, the plain, hearty “Bancha” leaves that form this tea's base have long been a regular countryside tradition. Its use was widespread among rural Japanese families who saw tea as a way to celebrate the contemplative nature of change. Thus Bancha represented summer and the thoughts that came with the warm, wet season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn times of scarcity, even Bancha became hard to obtain. Thus, to make the tea last longer, it was mixed with popped rice. The resulting flavor was so unique that Genmaicha continues to be blended today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so Genmaicha was born, a meeting of the two great sustaining sources of the Japanese table; representing the balance of luxury and survival in a toasted, vegetal, gardener's tea. Suitable for most occasions and adaptable to further blending, this tea is a true country-side-to-high-society transformation story. One who's appeal has no doubt not seen the end of its expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase leaf: Green tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHealth properties: Antioxidant qualities known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavor strength: Moderate, toasted, vegetal.

I am a serious tea drinker and received this fragrant, healthy, delicately flavored green tea as a Christmas gift. It is delightful and has become the way I start my morning. I've sipped plenty of green teas over the years. This one is unique. I will ordering more when I run out. It smells and tastes like spring.
Julie, your review is as welcome as a breath of spring air! We appreciate your getting in touch and letting us know just what Kyoto Cherry Rose has meant to you..
This is my favorite tea. The combination of flavors is wonderful. And Susan at Good Life Tea does a great job taking care of my tea drinking needs.
Thanks, Fred, it's always great to hear from a happy customer. Just don't forget Good Life Tea carries more than 120 other teas so keep your tummy happy and try some others some time. Variety is the spice of life!
Absolutely one of my favorite teas! I love how it actually tastes like green tea! The combo of green tea with the floral and cherry flavor is the highlight of my mornings!
Kyoto Cherry Rose is the favorite tea of the owner of Good Life Tea, Rob OBrien. He grew up in Japan and drank tea daily. The combination of the cherry tastes and the sencha fuji greeen tea reminds him of home.
