A light, creamy twist on your spring tea ritual
If you love a London fog but want something lighter, brighter, and a little more spring-coded…this is it.
This cherry cream iced tea latte is smooth, floral, and just slightly sweet with a soft cherry finish. It feels indulgent, but it’s actually super refreshing and easy to make at home.
Think: your favorite café drink, but prettier and better for you.
Why this works
Cherry Cherry Blossom White Tea already has this natural balance of floral, tart, and citrusy notes.
Adding a touch of sweetness and cream turns it into something that feels rich without being heavy. The white tea base keeps everything light and smooth instead of overly bold or bitter.

Tips for the perfect iced tea latte
- Don’t overheat your water. White tea is delicate and can turn bitter if it’s too hot.
- Sweeten while warm so it dissolves smoothly.
- Let the tea cool before adding ice so you don’t dilute the flavor.
Make it your own
