Yuzu Wakocha

ゆず和紅茶

40g bag

This black tea comes from a small family farm on the pristine island of Tsushima between Japan and Korea, where 90% of the island is still virgin forest. The Oishi family has been farming tea for a decade now, learning to specialize in the organic cultivation and processing of black tea. Flavoured with dried yuzu peels (which were grown by the Oishi family themselves), the Tsushima Yuzu Black Tea is deliciously sweet hot or cold.

About the farm:  The Oishi family has been farming tea for about 10 years on the isolated Tsushima Island without the benefit of a large community of fellow tea farmers. 

Tsushima Island itself is said to be nearly 90% virgin forest and has recently become known among both Korean and Japanese backpackers as a rural, off-the-beaten-track travel destination
