Discover the refined and surprisingly diverse world of Wakoucha, Japanese black tea. Although Japan is best known for green tea, Japanese tea cultivars can also produce beautiful black teas with a character of their own.

Depending on cultivar, origin and processing, Japanese black tea can show notes of honey, ripe fruit, malt, flowers or gentle roast. Many Wakoucha teas are pleasantly rounded, naturally sweet and very approachable. They are a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys black tea but is looking for a more elegant and lighter interpretation.

Our Wakoucha teas come from selected Japanese producers and show how fascinating Japanese tea can be beyond Sencha, Matcha and Gyokuro.
