WAKOUCHA | Japanese Black Tea

Japanese Black Tea Wakoucha - Ancient tradition | Pure origin | Naturally sweet finish

Wakoucha, which translates as “Japanese red tea,” is one of the oldest black teas made in Japan. Unlike Chinese or Indian black teas, it is cultivated in limited areas across Japan and processed with techniques closer to green tea - resulting in a smoother, lighter cup.

Our Wakoucha is grown in a fully organic environment, free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, and harvested in small batches by local artisans preserving traditional craftsmanship.
