If you like the traditional Japanese Sakura green tea, this is not for you. There is a small hint of cherry when you first brew it but as it cools down, the cherry taste is more noticeable. I personally enjoy this tea very much as I am always a fan of green tea. Compare to the traditional Sakura green tea, I would say this product is sweeter because it's less salty. Cherry blossoms are mixed with salt in order to preserve its flower that is why it is typically salty. I do recommend this for anyone who likes cherry/green tea =)
