Floating Cherry & Matcha: A Soft Spring Ritual

There’s something luxurious about slowing down for a tea moment — even if it’s just ten minutes in your day. Today I brewed up my ceremonial-grade Jyoraku Matcha (yes, the same blend my family sold for over two decades!), and paired it with something ethereal: Floating Cherry, a seasonal wagashi crafted by Kyoto-style artisan Chef Tokara (@tokaragashi).

Known in Japanese as ukiyo, this confection is light as air, made with simple ingredients like egg, rice flour, and salted cherry blossom petals. It's delicate. Thoughtful. And the perfect reminder that spring is meant to be savored.

Tea isn’t just about taste — it’s about presence. About appreciation. About carving out time for gratitude, and treating yourself with intention.

You deserve a ritual. Let this be your sign to create one.
