Emi #17 – Wakoucha (Japanese Black Tea)

A gentle Japanese black tea with quiet elegance

Emi is a refined Japanese black tea made from carefully fermented Yabukita tea leaves grown on the sloping hillsides of Numazu, Shizuoka.

Nourished by pure water, sunlight, and mineral-rich soil, this tea reveals the natural sweetness and umami unique to Japanese tea.
Unlike many black teas, bitterness and astringency are minimal, allowing a smooth, mellow flavour to unfold.

Softly aromatic and gracefully rounded, Emi invites calm reflection —
an elegant tea for unhurried afternoons.

Origin
