Smoky Wakocha 燻製和紅茶 (Smoked Black Tea)

Wakocha (和紅茶) is Japanese black tea made from tea leaves grown in Japan. Unlike Japanese green tea, the leaves are oxidised during processing, developing deeper colours and new aromas. Wakocha is often appreciated for its gentle sweetness, smooth taste and relatively low astringency.

Smoky Wakocha (燻製和紅茶) takes this traditional Japanese tea in a different direction. During the smoking process, wood chips from whisky barrels impart their distinctive aroma to the tea leaves. The result is a fascinating combination of the mellow character of Japanese black tea and the warm, woody notes associated with whisky barrels.
