If black tea has never quite suited you
Wakocha is gentler in astringency than black teas from elsewhere. If you've found black tea too astringent, this is likely to change your mind.

Cold-brewed in summer
Leaves and cold water in a pitcher, a few hours in the fridge. The astringency recedes further and a clean sweetness stands out.

About the origin

Wazuka, Kyoto, is a principal growing region for Uji tea.
Of all the crude tea produced in Kyoto Prefecture, 44.8% comes from this town.

River mist through the valley, a wide swing between day and night temperatures, and steep, well-drained slopes.
Eight hundred years of tea-making rests on the conditions of this land.

→ About Wazuka (ORIGIN)　→ The living tea landscape behind Uji tea

Organic leaves grown in the rich soil of Japan, oxidised slowly and carefully into a fragrant wakocha leaf tea. Low in astringency, with a roundness on the palate that is surprising — particular to Japanese black tea.

For those who know black tea well, certainly, but equally for anyone who has found astringency difficult: this is a gentle place to start.
Brewed in a kyusu or a teapot, the soft aroma of wakocha fills the room. Take it straight and enjoy the sweetness of the leaf, or add plenty of milk for a rich wakocha latte. Whichever suits the day.
