Wakoucha Japanese Black

Wakoucha Japanese Black – Rare Black Tea from Kagoshima, Japan

Wakoucha — meaning black tea grown and produced in Japan — is a rare and wonderful tea from Kagoshima Prefecture. Japan is world-famous for its distinctive, unmatched green teas, and its limited black teas are just as unique and luxurious. Wakoucha is still relatively unknown outside Japan, making it a special discovery for adventurous tea lovers.

Wakoucha Japanese Black is fully oxidized and brews a rich, deep copper cup with a light to medium body. It's bright, refreshing and a little malty, with a gentle briskness. At first sip, you'll notice it's similar to a delicate Ceylon black tea, with a touch of earthiness and hints of cinnamon and dark chocolate.
