Cherry blossom season has arrived at Chatime Canada with the launch of the brand's new Sakura Sips.
For those unfamiliar, Sakura is the Japanese name for cherry blossoms, which are common across East Asia. For its new Sakura Sips lineup, Chatime Canada has taken inspiration from the pretty pink blossoms to create some fruity, floral, and refreshing new combinations. The first of the new drinks is the Sakura Peach Green Tea, which combines Jasmine Jade Green Tea with notes of sakura and peaches. This drink is also topped off with coconut jelly. On the other hand, there's the Sakura Lychee Juice with Coconut Jelly, which is a caffeine-free drink featuring a blend of sweet lychee and floral sakura flavors, plus a topping of coconut jelly.
