N.407, Wakōcha Miyako

Wakōcha translate to "black tea“ or specifically, "Japanese black tea“.  Japan is well-known to producing green tea hence black tea cultivation is very rare and produced only in very small volumes by enthusiastic private tea farms. Japanese black tea undergoes a lighter fermentation than comparable black teas  in India or China.

Our Wakocha Miyako is a Japanese black tea made using tea leaves from Kyoto. When brewed, it is characterized by a beautiful reddish-brown liquor with low astringency, rounding up with a sweet and warm fruity taste.
