As beautiful spring arrives and cherry blossoms bloom across Taiwan, they are also in full bloom at Afternoon Tea！Continuing its key seasonal highlight every spring, Afternoon Tea LIVING has launched the “SAKURA Series” starting today, featuring nearly 40 cherry blossom-limited products, including tableware, home goods, and fragrances... Among them, to present cherry blossoms in a whole new way, Afternoon Tea has collaborated with American fashion illustrator Samantha Hahn. Using Samantha Hahn’s signature watercolor style, four gift box designs have been created, which include packaging for double-layer cake plate sets, two-person cup and plate sets... etc. The abundance of pink cherry blossoms represents blessings for the recipient and also holds significant collectible value. In addition, in line with the cherry blossom theme, this collection also introduces four fragrance products, utilizing scents inspired by different cherry blossom varieties such as “Somei Yoshino” and “Hanazomegi,” filling homes with the essence of spring.

From late February each year, spring outings to admire cherry blossoms as well as products in cherry blossom colors or designs become hot topics among the public, and the SAKURA cherry blossom season has become a signature thematic event for Afternoon Tea. Among them, cherry blossom-shaped plates and gift box series are the most popular, such as the lavishly designed court-style and Xiangquan Kiln series of spring cherry blossom-limited color plates and cups that were highly sought after last year. Recognizing the appeal of stylish illustrations to female consumers, this year Afternoon Tea’s “SAKURA Series” has specially collaborated with American fashion illustrator Samantha Hahn, who often draws inspiration from charismatic and distinctive women as her subjects, creating illustrations for luxury brands. Whether delicate sketches or vibrant watercolors, her works are widely loved. This spring, Afternoon Tea adopts a watercolor style as the design mainstay, inviting Samantha Hahn to draw inspiration from the scene of cherry blossom petals gently falling, creating a uniquely soft pink cherry blossom pattern exclusive to Afternoon Tea, which is incorporated into gift boxes, plates, and tumblers. The dancing cherry blossoms convey the fresh vibes of spring.
