Description
A unique dark tea
This tea comes from Shizuoka, Japan. The leaves are first processed like a green tea and then mixed with black Koji mold to trigger fermentation. After one week, the leaves are dried.
A rich and indulgent Grand Cru with a well-defined licorice profile. A unique and unclassifiable dark tea.
