Organic Meiji Sunset

About Delicate and harmonious, Organic Meiji Sunset invites you into a world of enchanting contrast. Embrace bright notes of dark fruit, a ballet of balanced tannins, and a well-rounded mouthfeel. This tea is an ode to intensity wrapped in elegance, and is a perfect companion to a luxurious breakfast or 5pm break. It requires no accompaniment of milk or citrus, as the inherent power of the flavour shines through; however, it graciously accepts the company of either, merging strength with subtlety.  Origin & HistoryEmbark on a sensory journey to Tanegashima, a jewel among the Osumi Islands in the southern Kagoshima Prefecture. Tanegashima's volcanic soil is nurtured by abundant rainfall, and the land is home to a breathtaking array of birds.  In the bygone eras of Meiji and Taisho, Japan crafted black tea of unparalleled quality for export to the Western world. Alas, the tides of a World War and the rise of the British Empire's Eastern colonies as the preferred origin for black tea
