Soft, buttery scones with a floral cherry twist
These aren’t your average scones.
They’re soft, lightly sweet, and infused with Cherry Cherry Blossom White Tea for a subtle floral flavor that makes them feel extra special without being overpowering.
The cherries bring a pop of brightness, while the tea adds that delicate, almost bakery-level complexity.
Why bake with tea?
Using tea directly in baking is one of the easiest ways to add layered flavor without extra ingredients.
In this recipe, the tea is finely ground and mixed into the dough, so every bite has that soft cherry-floral note woven throughout.
It’s subtle. It’s elevated. It’s kind of addictive.
Tips for perfect scones
- Keep your butter cold. This is what creates that soft, flaky texture.
- Don’t overmix the dough or they’ll turn dense.
- Grind the tea finely so it blends evenly into the dough.
Make it your own
- Use oat milk + vegan butter for a dairy-free version
- Add a little orange zest to enhance the citrus notes in the tea
- Skip the glaze for a more classic, less sweet scone
When to make these
- Weekend baking days
- Spring brunch spreads
- Tea parties (obviously)
- Or when you want your kitchen to smell incredible
Final sip (or bite)
These scones feel like something you’d find in a tiny bakery…except you made them yourself.
They’re simple, a little elevated, and the perfect way to turn your tea into something totally new.
