At a Glance

Many customers already know black tea, but this rare Japanese black tea from Shizuoka gives them something familiar with a distinctive point of difference. First flush leaves and the Benifuuki cultivar create mellow sweetness, warm cacao, toasted grain, and soft malt.

For your retail shelf, this wakoucha can attract customers who enjoy black tea but want to discover something new. Specialty grocers, boutiques, gift shops, and cafes can position this tin as an approachable bridge into Japanese tea beyond green tea—familiar enough to understand, unique enough to remember.

和紅茶の淹れ方

HOW TO BREW WAKOUCHA

1 | Heat fresh, filtered water until boiled. Let cool very slightly — water close to 203°F (95°C) is ideal for bringing out the fragrance and flavor in Wakoucha.

2 | Pour water over 1 tablespoon of tea leaves per cup.

3 | Steep for 1-2 minutes. All of our teas can be steeped up to 3 times.

FOR ICED WAKOUCHA:
Simply add the desired amount of Wakoucha tea leaves into a container or bottle and pour in boiling water. Let the tea steep and cool down before putting it in the fridge to chill. After 2 hours, the cold brew Wakoucha is ready. Cold tea lasts in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

For a more mellow flavor, add water to your desired amount of Wakoucha tea leaves and let steep in the fridge for 3 hours before drinking.
