Wakoucha Japanese Black Tea

Our Wakoucha Organic Japanese Black Tea was grown in Fujieda, Shizouka prefecture and is an extraordinary example of rare Japanese black teas. The liquor is a clean amber red opening up to a sweet and floral aroma and taste with notes of chrysanthemum and clove leaving a lingering floral finish. While green tea is the most common type of tea known in Japan, the country has actually produced black tea since the 19th century. Our Organic Wakoucha is grown by Iizuka-san, a passionate 3rd generation tea farmer whose family is a pioneer of organic tea farming in Japan, having started using organic farming techniques nearly 50 years ago. The best Wakoucha comes from the 2nd flush which is the time of year when the tea plants are hit the hardest by pests. Because of that and the fact that Wakoucha has to wait for a year to develop its best flavor, large quantities of this premium Organic Wakoucha are hard to come by.
