The beautiful spring season has arrived, and cherry blossoms are blooming all over Taiwan, especially at Afternoon Tea. Continuing its signature spring-themed promotion, Afternoon Tea LIVING has unveiled the “SAKURA Series” starting today, featuring nearly 40 limited-edition cherry blossom items. These include tableware, home goods, and fragrances... among others. To give cherry blossoms a fresh new presentation, Afternoon Tea has collaborated with American fashion illustrator Samantha Hahn. Utilizing her signature watercolor style, she has designed four gift box collections, which include tiered cake plate sets, double cup-and-plate sets... and more. The abundant pink cherry blossoms convey heartfelt blessings to recipients and also hold significant collectible value. In line with the cherry blossom theme, this collection also introduces four fragrance products, using scents inspired by different cherry blossom varieties such as “Somei Yoshino” and “Hanazomegi,” bringing the essence of spring into your home.

Every year from late February onwards, spring outings to view cherry blossoms, as well as merchandise featuring cherry blossom hues or designs, become hot topics among the public. The SAKURA cherry blossom promotion has become one of Afternoon Tea’s signature events. Particularly popular are cherry blossom-shaped dinner plates and gift box collections—last year’s limited-edition spring cherry colors for plates and cups, such as those from the opulent palace and Xiangquan Kiln series, were especially well-received. Recognizing the appeal of stylish illustrations to female consumers, this year’s Afternoon Tea “SAKURA Series” has teamed up with American fashion illustrator Samantha Hahn. Known for portraying charismatic women as her themes, she has created illustrations for luxury brands. Whether delicate sketches or vibrant watercolors, her work is widely adored. This spring, Afternoon Tea has adopted a watercolor aesthetic as its design focus, inviting Samantha Hahn to draw inspiration from the image of cherry blossom petals gently falling. She has created a unique pastel cherry blossom pattern exclusive to Afternoon Tea, which is incorporated into gift boxes, dinner plates, and tumblers. The dancing cherry blossoms exude the fresh vibrancy of spring.

Afternoon Tea’s “SAKURA Series” offers limited-edition gift box sets and party tableware. The gift boxes mainly include cups and plates commonly needed for hosting parties. They are not only elegant and refined but also highly practical. For example, the Cherry Blossom Party Double-Tier Cake Plate Set and the Cherry Blossom Party Deep-Fry Oil Drainage Tray Set can hold plenty of food during gatherings. To meet the needs of shared meals and parties, elements of cherry blossoms have also been integrated into the designs of lunch boxes and plates. Examples include the Cherry Blossom Party Floral Double-Layer Storage Box and the Pastel Cherry Blossom-Shaped Plate—the petal shapes are especially eye-catching. Additionally, a range of cherry blossom-scented products such as fragrance bottles and sachets have been launched. These can be placed in different spots according to your preference, allowing you to enjoy the boundless joy brought by spring cherry blossoms.
