Description

A superior quality 100% handpicked first flush organic Japanese black tea cultivated by a very long established, award winning, organic black tea grower in the famed black tea production area known as Makurazaki which is in Kagoshima prefecture! Made from the tea bush variety known as “Benihikari” which was bred in Japan for black tea. It’s comprised of the delicate young leaves that are carefully hand-picked at the optimum timing creating a sweet and fresh flavored koucha with little astringency, sweet fragrance, and a lovely lingering after-taste. JAS certified LIMITED organic koucha and one not to miss!
