Green of Japan Wakocha

Wakōcha (和紅茶, Wakocha, Wakoucha, meaning: "Japanese black tea") - black tea made in Japan.

Our Wakocha is grown in Nagasaki Prefecture from the Yabukita variety, which is the most popular in Japan. It is made in a Tamaryokucha factory, which gives the tea leaves a rounder shape similar to Tamaryokucha. The taste of Wakocha tea is mild and naturally sweet (no sugar or lemon required). Wakocha has a characteristic floral, or rather orchid, aroma.

The largest amount of black tea is produced in southern countries closer to the equator, such as India, Sri Lanka, where the tea bushes are more exposed to sunlight. As a result, more catechins are produced in the leaves, which give the tea a bitter and more astringent feel.

There are also different types of tea trees. It is grown in the south Camellia sinensis assamica breed, in Japan Camellia sinensis sinensis. The variety of the plant has a great influence on the taste of the tea. Wakocha tea has a milder and sweeter taste than Indian black tea.

Method of preparation:

Add green tea to the teapot.
Never use freshly boiled water! Pour boiled tea over the tea leaves and cooled to the required temp. with water. Brewing time depends on the type of tea (see below).
Pour the brewed green tea evenly into all the pre-prepared cups, which will preserve the taste and aroma. Never leave tea leaves in water! In warm water, the catechins break down and the proteins increase, which can cause stomach aches and the tea itself will be more bitter.
Since we use the highest quality grade green tea, the same tea herbs may be present boiled three times (increase the draw time by 15 seconds each time)
