Kumamoto Zairai Wakoucha - First Flush
Made from 70 year-old seed-grown tea plants that capture the unique tastes of Kumamoto, this delightfully complex first flush black tea has notes of nuts, spices, pastries, and stone fruits, coupled with a long-lasting finish.
This tea is rather versatile and can be brewed gongfu style (as per our recommendations) yielding multiple delicious infusions. It can also be enjoyed with more western-style brewing parameters, using a lower leaf to water ratio, and a longer brewing time.
