Wakoucha Japanese Black

Wakoucha Japanese Black – Rare Kagoshima Black Tea for Wholesale

Wakoucha Japanese Black is a rare black tea grown and produced in Kagoshima Prefecture. The term wakoucha refers to black tea made in Japan. While Japan is world-famous for its distinctive green teas, its limited black tea production is equally unique and luxurious, and it remains relatively unknown outside the country.

This tea is fully oxidized and brews a rich, deep copper liquor with a light to medium body. It is bright, refreshing and lightly malty, with a gentle briskness. The first impression resembles a delicate Ceylon black tea, followed by a touch of earthiness and hints of cinnamon and dark chocolate, closing on a gently brisk finish. Its lighter body and subtle sweetness make it a gentle, nuanced alternative to bolder black teas, and easy to drink at any time of day. For specialty retailers and tea shops, Wakoucha is a genuine discovery item: its rarity creates a strong talking point with enthusiasts and adventurous customers, and it makes a unique gift for tea collectors. It can be served plain to highlight its delicate character or with a splash of milk for a softer cup, and it pairs well with Japanese sweets, light pastries and chocolate.
