Yes. Sakura green tea is made with green tea, which naturally contains caffeine. The amount varies with the tea and how it is brewed, so do not assume it is caffeine-free unless the product specifically says so.
Sakura green tea typically combines green tea’s fresh, slightly grassy taste with a delicate floral aroma. It usually does not taste like sweet cherry juice; the strength of the sakura note depends on the blend.
Brew Sakura green tea with hot water that is not boiling, following the package directions when available. Steeping green tea too long can make it bitter, so remove the leaves or tea bag once the flavor is to your liking.
Not always. Some blends include dried sakura blossoms or leaves, while others use flavoring to create the floral taste. Check the ingredient list if you specifically want a tea made with real cherry blossoms.
No. Sakura green tea has a green tea base but adds a sakura flavor, and some blends also include blossoms or leaves. Regular green tea does not necessarily have that floral aroma or added ingredients.
You can, but its caffeine may make it harder for some people to fall asleep. If caffeine affects your sleep, have Sakura green tea earlier in the day or choose a blend clearly labeled caffeine-free.
Yes. You can cold-brew Sakura green tea in the refrigerator, then strain it when the flavor is strong enough for you. Cold brewing often gives green tea a gentler taste than leaving it in hot water for too long.
It can be a pleasant, low-calorie drink, and its green tea base contains antioxidant compounds. Its benefits should not be overstated: Sakura green tea is a beverage, not a treatment, and added sweeteners change its nutritional profile.
Yes. Brew Sakura green tea fairly strongly, then add steamed milk or a milk alternative to taste. The creamy texture softens the floral notes; sweeten lightly if needed so the sakura flavor does not get lost.
Sakura green tea contains caffeine, which counts toward your total intake from drinks and foods during pregnancy. How much is appropriate depends on your circumstances, so ask your healthcare professional for guidance.

Sakura green tea is green tea scented or flavoured with sakura, the blossoms of Japanese cherry trees. Depending on the blend, it may use flower petals, an added aroma or both, so the flavour and ingredients vary by product. In Japan it is especially associated with spring, when cherry blossoms are in bloom.
Its grassy, gently astringent tea notes are softened by a delicate floral scent. Enjoy it plain, hot or chilled; use water below boiling to keep the flavour from turning harsh. It is a very low-calorie drink when served without sweetener, making it an easy alternative to sweetened teas. A light biscuit or other simple snack pairs well, though a little sweetener can suit those who prefer a softer taste.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
