From the roaster

  • CHERISHED JAPANESE SAKURA – A SYMBOL OF SPRING IN JAPAN - Sakura, more commonly known as cherry blossoms, have been cherished by the Japanese people for centuries and are considered one of Japan’s most iconic symbols. To reflect this deep cultural love of sakura, our Sakura Latte Powder is carefully blended using two varieties of Japanese cherry blossoms: “Yaezakura” and “Oshimazakura.” Oshimazakura is an edible sakura variety known for its naturally sweet and rich coumarin aroma, giving this cherry blossom latte a delicate floral fragrance and authentic Japanese character.
  • CAREFULLY SELECTED SAKURA FOR A DELICATE FLORAL FLAVOR- This sakura latte powder creates a beautiful, soft pink drink with a light, fluffy texture. Simply mix the cherry blossom latte powder with hot water or milk to create a creamy sakura milk latte, or enjoy it cold as a refreshing iced cherry blossom latte. Its elegant pink color and delicate floral taste make it perfect for cozy café-style drinks at home. Each sip delivers a soft floral aroma, light sweetness, and smooth creamy flavor that evokes the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom. Enjoy an authentic sakura drink experience all year round.
  • FLUFFY, PINK & KAWAII – EASY TO MAKE HOT OR ICED - It features an adorable, kawaii-inspired soft pink hue that instantly brings a sense of warmth and charm. It is easy to create a light and fluffy foam. Simply add hot water or hot milk to the sakura powder or cherry blossom powder, stir well, and then enjoy a sakura milk latte. You can also make cold, for a delightful cherry blossom iced latte! The Sakura Latte perfectly captures the sweet, floral essence of the Japanese spring season, making it a top choice for those looking to enjoy a taste of spring’s gentle, heartwarming beauty.
  • CONVENIENT & EASY TO ENJOY ANYTIME- Our sakura latte powder comes in a convenient resealable pouch, making it easy to prepare whenever you want a relaxing Japanese-style treat. The smooth and mellow flavor pairs beautifully with milk and desserts, while the refreshing cherry blossom aroma adds a touch of spring to every cup.
  • VERSATILE FOR LATTES, DESSERTS & CREATIVE RECIPES– This Japanese cherry blossom powder is not just for lattes. Use it to make sakura cakes, pancakes, cookies, frappes, cocktails, smoothies, or other creative desserts and drinks. Sprinkle it over whipped cream, ice cream, or baked treats for a sweet floral twist and beautiful pink finish.

    I liked it

    Its very cute, foams nicely and while it's not as sweet as I typically like this, I added a little sweetener too it and it was perfect! The bag is very small and it's not even half full of powder but if you think it's worth the price, I would say go for it! Its nice to treat yourself once in a while

    Beautiful, Fragrant, and Delicate — A Lovely Floral Treat (Better with Milk!)

    This Sakura latte powder is a gentle, subtly floral drink that really stands out from the usual matcha or hojicha options. It smells wonderfully fresh right out of the pouch—light cherry blossom notes with a creamy base. Visually, it's a stunner.

    Lovely pink and finely flavored

    Lovely light pink foaming tasty latte. Long lasting used May 2026 and was still great! Pretty pink and very delicate floral slightly strawberry cherry flavor. Not too sweet.
