Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS WAKOUCHA BLACK TEA?
While Japan is known for its green teas, Japanese black teas represent a tiny portion of the nation's tea production (1%). However, there is growing enthusiasm for black tea in Japan, with the development of atypical varieties. "Wakoucha" means "red tea," a name that comes from the red hue of this tea when brewed. Wakoucha, a sweet and refreshing tea with a woody and fruity body, is a perfect alternative to your classic black tea.
This Japanese black tea comes from the second harvest of the tea plants, in June. It is a mechanical harvest. The first step in its production is to wither the tea. For our wakoucha, the tea leaves are left to wither for 16 to 17 hours. The tea leaves are then rolled and oxidized (to make black tea, the leaves must be oxidized). They are then rolled for several hours at room temperature using a rolling machine that presses the leaves against the walls of a barrel to change their color. The leaves are then dried and placed in the refrigerator for at least six months. The final step is shaping the tea leaves. They are then dried once more until packaging.
A 100% NATURAL WAKOUCHA BLACK TEA
This black tea is grown naturally. No chemicals or additives are used in its cultivation or production. All our tea plants thrive in harmony with nature, surrounded by an incredible multitude of insects that we leave undisturbed.
