Wakocha (Black Tea)

Wakocha (Japanese Black Tea) is a uniquely Japanese style of black tea, made from tea leaves traditionally used for green tea and carefully fermented to bring out a naturally gentle sweetness. Compared to Western black teas, wakocha is low in bitterness and astringency, with a smooth, mellow flavor that can be enjoyed on its own without milk or sugar. Light, aromatic, and easy to drink, it is well suited for both hot and cold brewing, making it an approachable black tea for everyday moments as well as a refined choice for those seeking a softer, more nuanced expression of black tea.
