Organic Japanese Black Tea

ORGANIC JAPANESE BLACK TEA

Japan is famous for its green tea but there is also a small production of black tea too, virtually unheard of in the west. We supply a limited amount of a black tea made from a Yakubita cultivar, the tea comes from the same production of our organic green teas. It's black but totally different from the black teas that you are most probably used to. Hand picked young leaves. Fragrant, mild with zero bitterness. incredibly smooth.

Excellent

The tea has very fine taste and aroma, and almost impossible to overbrew. Soft and delicate, gives a very clean infusion. The taste stays rich and vibrant over at least 2, sometimes 3 brews. Also, the light-resistant vacuum packing preserves aromatic tea oils, so if resealed properly, tea stays fresh for sufficient time. The dry leaves have quite aesthetic appearance as well, black with a tiny bluish-violet tint. Given the modest price, the product is a very good deal for the high quality maintained over the years. I personally prefer this organic tea over many other competitor luxury red (black in western interpretation) teas.

Великолепный чай. Быстрая доставка

Вкусный, ароматный чай. Кардинально отличается вкусом и ароматом от привычного мне черного Цейлонского чая. Большое спасибо за качественный продукт!
