Organic Black Tea with Yuzu from Kawane, Shizuoka
Discover the exceptional taste of this unique blend of organic black tea and organic yuzu, grown in the renowned tea-producing region of Kawane, Shizuoka. Crafted by Taruwaki Garden, a family-run tea farm with over 35 years of expertise in organic cultivation, this tea is a true embodiment of sustainable, nature-friendly practices.
While black tea production in Japan accounts for only around 2% of the nation's total tea output, this rare offering stands out for its mild, mellow flavor and natural sweetness—distinct from stronger, more astringent foreign varieties. What makes this tea truly special is the innovative fermentation process, where the black tea and yuzu are fermented together from the start. Unlike typical flavored teas where the fruit is added post-production, this method ensures a harmonious integration of flavors.
The result is a one-of-a-kind tea experience—gentle and smooth black tea balanced with the refreshing citrus aroma of yuzu. It's a tea like no other.
We invite you to savor this exceptional blend. Give it a try!
