Moya Matcha Wakoucha Organic Japanese Black Tea 60g

The taste of this black fiber tea is really special, slightly floral, with noticeable honey and spicy notes. The term "kou-cha" 紅茶 is traditionally translated as "purple tea". The name comes from the soft water of Japan, which turns dark red with a slightly bluish tint when steeped with black tea leaves. This is also why wakoucha was referred to as "red tea" in the past. Brewed in medium-hard water typical of European countries, the tea takes on a dark amber color. Moya Wakoucha is grown and processed in the Mie region of the island of Honshu.

PROPERTIES OF WAKOUCHA
Wakoucha black tea can be an ideal accompaniment to various dishes and desserts, the sweetness of which is delicately balanced by the tea's bitter taste. Just like any other black tea, wakoucha undergoes a drying and fermentation process after harvesting, which distinguishes it from green teas. The result of this process is wakoucha's dark color, slightly earthy taste and reduced caffeine content. Drinking black tea improves the digestive system and also contains amino acids, beta-carotene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Since there are not many farmers in Japan who choose to grow and process black tea, Japanese wakoucha is still considered a rare product.
