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. |
