Wakocha Japanese Black
Wakocha is a unique Japanese black tea. This delightful organic tea from Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan is made from a cultivar traditionally used for green tea. When processed in the Chinese method as a black tea, it produces a lovely brew that has an incredibly fresh and smooth finish without any of the bitterness of other varieties of black tea. Full bodied character with a delicious sweetness, lingering floral taste and fruity aroma. It is strong and bold but has sweetness, elegance yet low astringency. A truly elegant, delicious black tea! Highly recommended. Quantities are limited.

I was curious to try this. I associate Japan with twig teas, tea mixed with puffed rice, green teas, and matchas, and I never heard of Wakocha before - so this is something new for me. It is a good black tea, not as premium as the price may indicate, but not bad at all. It has a lightly astringent, earthy flavor, and tastes something like a mild Keemun. |

Really unique, heavy on the minerality and almost tastes a little salty. Mellow, somehow light. Earthy undertones mixed with sea breeze. Yeah this is a keeper. |

The Beauty of Pears
On a meditative fall morning, there is nothing better than to haul out a big bag of pears, fresh-picked from the backyard or the overly prolific tree down the street, and wash, peel, core and chop them for an entire vat of pear sauce. Or, sometimes even more gratifying, to press them into cider or turn them into a delicious pie or crumble. If you’re the type of person who delights in this sometimes humble fruit, then our organic Fujian Pear tea is sure to be a hit.
