This Grand Cru is harvested in Japan's Kagoshima prefecture. Although Japan is better known for its green tea, black tea is increasingly popular and currently accounts for 1% of the country's output. "Wakoucha" means "red tea", in reference to the tea's red hue!
This Japanese black tea reveals highly pronounced, fruity notes that bring to mind plum, apricot and orange, which then develop into woody, citrus hints.
Appearance: comma-shaped leaves
Colour: amber
Texture: silky, fine astringency
Notes: cooked fruit (plum, apricot), orange marmalade, citrus hint (lemon), woody finish
Prepare this tea warm:
With the teapot or the tasting set: 4 minutes in water heated to 195°F.
With the kyusu or the shiboridashi: 5g / 20cl
- 1st infusion: 195°F - 1 minute
- 2nd infusion: 195°F - instantaneous
Also delicious iced.
