Grand cru black tea smoked with Japanese cherry wood
A sensory journey.
This great tea is smoked with Japanese cherry wood using an artisanal method.
Its sweet liquor floods the palate with its woody notes enriched with a fragrant veil evoking incense and liquorice.
From a family garden in the Shizuoka region, near Mount Fuji, this tea is grown according to a method listed in the ingenious system of world agricultural heritage, respectful of the biodiversity of plants and animals.
Company description not available.
I hadn’t read the description of this tea in a while, was trying to pick out sakura under the smokiness and wasn’t quite getting it. Rereading it and seeing that it’s smoked with Japanese cherry wood makes more sense. The smoke is VERY present, but doesn’t seem as overwhelming as smoke in a Lapsang. It has an almost sweet quality to it with a hint of maltiness in there as it cools. I don’t know that I quite get the evoking of liquorice, but I can see how the finish might be described as incense like. The instructions said to steep it for 4 minutes, but I’m glad I started with 2 because this turned out to be a very nice cup.
