Description:

  • Wakocha tea is a Japanese black tea that originated in the late 19th century. The name “Wakocha” translates to “Japanese black tea” and refers to the cultivation and production of black tea in Japan. Unlike traditional green teas for which Japan is renowned, Wakocha undergoes a specific oxidation process, resulting in a unique flavor profile distinct from green teas.
  • Produced in the Shizuoka and Kyoto regions, our Wakocha tea is cultivated from the tea plant varieties Yutaka Midori and Yabukita, producing a delicate umami and floral taste with a subtle astringency. Our Wakocha boasts a reddish amber hue, making it an all around inviting tea experience.

 

  • Wakocha has gained popularity both domestically in Japan and internationally for its distinct flavor and the novelty of Japanese-produced black tea. Its versatility allows it to be enjoyed plain or with milk and sugar, catering to various preferences. Wakocha’s growing popularity highlights its significance as a unique addition to Japan’s diverse tea culture.
