Sakura & Seasonality: A Taste of Spring in Japanese Culture

In Japan, the arrival of spring is more than a change in season—it’s a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration. From delicate cherry blossoms in full bloom to the flavours that mark the season, this transition is woven into everyday life, from clothing and decor to art and cuisine.

Join us for a sensory journey into seasonality in Japanese culture through the lens of tea. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore how spring is embraced in Japanese traditions and experience its essence through a special sakura tea tasting. You’ll taste three distinct sakura teas, each offering a unique way to enjoy the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms.

Join us for a delightful and informative tea experience.
