The cherry blossom flavor segment in the beverage market experiences a distinct seasonal peak.

The biggest challenge with seasonal products is the delivery lead time – many customers, when introducing a new cherry blossom flavor for the first time, underestimate the time required between sample production and mass manufacturing. Based on our experience, the period from flavor confirmation to delivery typically takes at least 15–20 days; we recommend initiating the process 25 days in advance.

• Taste sampling requires 2–3 iterative rounds; each round of sample distribution takes approximately 7–10 days.
• OEM custom order production lead time: 20–25 working days
• International sea freight takes approximately 7–14 days to reach Southeast Asia and 5–10 days to reach Japan and South Korea.
• During the peak season (January–March), production scheduling is tight; it is recommended to start production earlier.

The standard OEM delivery lead time for Zonegoing Food is 20–25 working days; non-customized products can be shipped within 15–20 working days. If this is your first collaboration with us for the Sakura flavor, we recommend placing a small batch order first to gauge market response before scaling up production.

Many brand procurement managers are engaging in OEM production for Floral Flavor for the first time and may not be fully familiar with the process. Below, we have broken down our collaboration workflow – clearly outlining what you need to do at each stage and what we will deliver.

The cherry blossom flavor profile is not offered in isolation – if you are creating a floral-themed menu, consider purchasing them in combination. Our factory's floral flavor range includes three SKUs – cherry blossom, rose, and osmanthus – all utilizing the same konjac-based substrate manufacturing process, ensuring consistent quality.

• Sakura: Light pink with a subtle floral fragrance – highest demand in Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
• Rose: Stable market demand in the Middle East and South Asia – can be extended as an additional product line for the Sakura series.
• Osmanthus: Demand exists throughout the year, and it enjoys high brand awareness in the Chinese market.

The advantage of combined procurement is the ability to share minimum order quantity (MOQ) requirements and logistics costs. If the sales volume for the Sakura SKU alone is insufficient, you may consider placing a bulk order together with the Rose or Osmanthus SKUs. Our Rose Crystal Boba product page and Osmanthus Crystal Boba product page can serve as an extension for evaluating your floral flavor portfolio.

You can explore the full range of Crystal Boba flavors – including 18 different varieties such as fruit, floral, and brown sugar flavors – on our Crystal Boba category page.
