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.

There are many legends surrounding the origin of drinking tea. One story tells us that it began in China thousands of years ago. It is said that the leaves of a Camellia plant dropped off and landed in a bowl of boiling water. The Emperor at the time tasted the result and found them to his liking and the art of drinking tea was born.
