Sweet and pickled are two different things, my dudes.

As pickling tends to involve, you know, brine. Salt. Not that the two are totally exclusive but.

/did not find this sweet tasting

Yeeeeah you're definitely supposed to sweeten it... Idk why they'd advertise it as sweet bc lol

Sakura is generally pickled and salted for good measure so it's. Definitely a salty kind of tea, cry

Celebrations and all that.

Pickled sakura seem better for sweet desserts imo. But I've been curious to try teas

I ended up putting a little sugar in but still not finishing it because it being a free-floating tea was awkward.

rip...

I'm a little confused at free floating meaning just being in the cup...

Because free floating teas are usually meant for diffusers or infusers

or tea strainers

The only time I've ever left a tea just sitting, it was blooming tea, and it just stuck to the bottom of the cup

But loose leaf is generally meant for things like... this

I used single use bamboo paper tea bags for mine

these back before Adagio turned out to be Itself

But it works as an example

I know, but the packaging literally said to just. Pre-warm the cup, dump the stuff in, hot water. Nothing about an infuser At All. I was squinting at it, too.

The big parts did stick to the bottom, blossoming out and looking very pretty, but enough loose petals floated to be awkward.

Yeah but it also said it's sweet so like

This sounds like people just never tried it themselves smh

Cry. Yeah. The trials of testing out an unusual tea for the first time, for me.
