Matcha Blossom Novels & Stories

We walked amidst the cherry blossom trees; the petals raining on us even as the slightest wind passed by. I sat on a white marble bench beside the pond. Zephyr brought us two cups of sakura tea or cherry blossom tea. “They said this tea slows aging. Princess will look younger,” Zephyr said, sitting beside me. “I don’t wish to live a long life, anyway. Aging shouldn’t be a problem for me,” I said. “Why not?” Zephyr’s gaze had been filled with an unfathomable melancholy even since we entered the art gallery. It was just getting intenser every second.

I blurted, pinching my nose shut. Xavier didn’t even look up from his monitor. I followed the scent and spotted the cup. Matcha. God, I hated that grassy shit. “You shouldn’t be drinking that matcha crap,” I complained. “It smells like a lawnmower had diarrhea.” He still didn’t reply.

Tinea was silent for a few minutes, Artemisia didn't want to interrupt that, so just went back to drinking the tea, even though it looked like she was drinking molten metal. The woman picked up the cup too, taking small sips of the lavender tea, the smell was still in the air, scenting that uncomfortable scene. More sweets arrived at the table, now they were dumplings with whipped cream formed of black flowers. They were like belladonna flowers, in fact the only thing similar was the color, a purple so intense that it seemed to be black. That flower's core was yellow, as if it had a small, lonely sun in so much darkness.

It only blooms at night and was highly sought for a love potion. VERDANT BAMBOO- the stem is extremely tough and can be used to forge weapons like 'verdant bow' and 'piercing arrows'. It can easily pierce through one's body. Due to the extreme speed of the arrow when the two are paired together, it is capable of killing one without even leaving behind a wound. VIOLET ROSE FLOWER is used for soaking and marinating beast meat to further accentuate its flavor. ROOTED EARTH GRASS & GREEN CICADA HEART LEAF can help nourish one's body. The wine made from it can exude an alluring fragrance similar to lilies and musk.

Several older wolves narrowed their eyes at the two interlopers who had spent the last few days strutting around like they owned the place. Martha opened her mouth. Closed it. “Second,” I continued, lifting the crystal box so the light caught the petals, “this is not a wildflower. This is Moon-crown Blossom. It blooms once a year for a single day, high on cliffs no sane wolf would climb. It purifies even high-grade wolfsbane. I searched for years to find it.” Aman snorted from the sidelines. “You expect us to believe that’s some legendary herb? It’s a common weed. Don’t be ridiculous.”

Vastria took her cup of tea and added some sugar to sweeten it. “In your letter, you said there were much to discuss?” Vastria took a sandwich to munch on. “Yes, two topics that is. One regarding your witch heritage and the other about your wedding.” Remus’ mother nodded sipping her tea. “Okay.” Vastria sipped her tea. “Wow this tea is amazing. What is it?” “It is rose tea from my tea roses here in the garden. This tea blend, I had the servants add jasmine to it. It gives it a unique taste doesn’t it?”

A familiar conversation drifted out. "Was that flower really that hard to pick?" "You bet. Moonwatch Cliff is so dangerous that even professional climbing teams wouldn’t dare go there lightly." Through the half-open door, Rhea saw Vera idly turning the briar rose in her hands. Sienna Caldwell leaned in, eyes bright with gossip. "Then he really risked his life to get it. When he delivered the flower yesterday, I think I even saw your name tattooed over his heart. He’s really planning to chase you, huh?

“Honey?” “Not just any honey,” Mina smirked. “This is made from the rarest nectar, harvested from the Queen’s Blossom—a flower that only blooms once a year in the enchanted fields of Aeternum. It’s infused directly into the ice cream, creating a sweetness so perfect it melts on the tongue.” Intrigued, Mies took a spoonful and brought it to his lips. The moment the ice cream touched his tongue; his entire body froze. A silence fell over the room.

I didn't know when they all got to where I was standing. "Dude!" Natt breathed out, checking the gift. "I would fucking kill to have a committed fan like yours." Right. Since they didn't even know what this meant, they would think it was an heartfelt gesture from a die hard fan. If only they knew just where in the pit of hell the gift was coming from. "Oww! Seventeen roses, a chocolate pack, rose candle and a freaking velvet cake!" Maria counted the items for everyone to hear. "How long has it been since he's been getting this package?" Someone asked, I couldn't even tell who that was because I was beginning to zone out again.

I had never heard of such a tea before. I scribbled her order in my notepad, noting that I’d need someone to explain how it was made, and handed the instructions to the cook in charge. She gave me a quick once-over before setting to work, calling out ingredients as she selected them. "This is called chamomile," she said, holding up a flower that looked like a miniature daisy, with white petals and a yellow core. It smelled delightful, even from where I stood. "You blend this with lavender," she explained as she picked up a few other items.
