Sakura Sencha,

Gentle leaves and spring petals:

Powerful fragrance!

This smells really nice!

I hope it tastes as good too.

I shall buy it now.

So a hundred grams

of Sweet Sakura Sencha

That is five pounds please!

Thank you very much

I can’t wait to go home and

Try this for myself

Loose leaves, dried blossoms,

Are reborn through the kettle.

Such deep tranquil bliss.

Beneath a full cup

The petal's blood blend with tea

Spring is trapped inside.

Sakura Sencha

Such an interesting tea

to drink on Sundays.

Rise from the ashes

The taste of spring is captured

Always immortal.
