#0836.S5 Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden: 8 Levels - Black Tea - Single Cultivar Koshun - Tasting Sampler Set

The process of creating black tea involves withering the leaf after harvest to reduce moisture, then rolling the leaf to break cell membranes and release enzymes, then "fermentation" -- which we now know to be chemically a form of enzymatic oxidization (rather than true fermentation which involves bacteria). One factor in creating the flavor is the degree to which a producer allows the leaf to "ferment" Product Info Ingredients: Black tea Harvest: Summer Cultivar: Koshun Region: Shimada, Shizuoka Producer info Name: Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden Type: Family business, tea farm & factory Location: 1806-21 Kiriyama, Shimada-shi, Shizuoka-ken 428-0035
