Hanadoki, PARU Reserve (CBF Exclusive)

Hanadoki means “a time for flowers” in Japanese. We created this tea blend to share some of our favorite flavors: the bright freshness of sencha from the PARU tea garden in Nara, the delicate sweetness of cherry blossoms from Kyoto, and fragrant rose petals, because romance is always in bloom. To fully enjoy it, we recommend brewing in a glass vessel so you can watch the leaves and petals unfurl.

This is a limited stock of an event-exclusive tea from the 2026 Cherry Blossom Festival held at the Japanese Friendship Garden & Museum in Balboa Park.
