HOLFLYING Dried Sakura Cherry Blossoms 0.5 oz (14 g) Whole Flowers — Additive-Free Tea & Garnish

HOLFLYING Dried Sakura Cherry Blossoms are whole, additive-free flowers curated for brewing sakura-yu, garnishing desserts and cocktails, and adding floral charm to culinary creations.

Hand-harvested at peak bloom and gently dried to preserve their soft pink tone and delicate aroma, these sakura blossoms arrive ready to steep, steep-in or decorate. Each resealable bag contains about 100–150 whole blossoms (0.5 oz / 14 g), stored to retain fragrance and texture so they rehydrate into silky petals when soaked. Use a couple of blossoms per cup for a subtle floral infusion, or sprinkle petals over cakes, mochi and beverages for an elegant presentation.

How do I brew these blossoms into tea?

Brewing sakura tea is simple: warm water to about 70°C (158°F), add 2–3 whole blossoms per cup, and steep for 2–4 minutes until petals rehydrate and the aroma opens. Gentle steeping preserves the floral notes without bitterness.

• Use 2–3 blossoms per 150–200 ml cup.
• Heat water to ~70°C (not boiling) to avoid harsh flavors.
• Steep 2–4 minutes, then remove blossoms or sip with petals.
• Optional: add a touch of honey or a slice of citrus for contrast.

Can I use these sakura blossoms for cooking and cocktails?

Yes — the whole dried flowers make an ornamental and flavorful addition to both sweet and savory dishes as well as cocktails. Their delicate pink color and subtle almond-like aroma enhance presentation and offer a mild floral accent.

• Soak blossoms briefly before placing on cakes, mochi or tarts.
• Float a blossom in champagne or craft cocktails for visual impact.
• Infuse into syrups to sweeten drinks or glaze pastries.
• Use as a finishing garnish on plated desserts or salads.

How should I store the dried cherry blossoms for best freshness?

Keep the resealable pouch tightly closed and store in a cool, dark place; refrigeration after opening extends aroma and color. Avoid moisture, strong odors and direct sunlight to maintain petal texture and scent.

• Seal pouch after every use to reduce air exposure.
• Refrigerate after opening for maximum longevity.
• Avoid storing near spices, oils, or heat sources.
• Use within a few months for peak color and fragrance.
