Morihata Organic Hayashi Loose Leaf Black Tea

The first Japanese black tea, or wakoucha, to join our private label, Hayashi Organic Black Tea brings an entirely new taste to the Morihata family, one that starts smooth and mellow but finishes with a touch of black teaﾡﾯs distinctive astringency. Also available in bagged form.

“When people hear ‘Japanese tea,’ most immediately they think of green teaﾡﾪbut this beautiful wa-kﾨﾭcha tells a different story. Made from tea leaves grown in Japanﾡﾯs unique climate and terroir, it has a character distinct from black teas produced elsewhere, shaped by generations of Japanese tea-making expertise.

Grown and house-made in small batches at an organic tea farm in Kagoshima, it offers low astringency, elegant natural sweetness, and a softly lingering aromaﾡﾪan essential part of my afternoon tea ritual.”?-Yuka Morihata

What to expect from Hayashi:?An unusually mellow black tea with an astringent yet?smooth finish
