A unique flavoured organic black tea produced in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima. This first flush tea is blended with local organic ginger powder giving it a candied ginger aroma with a light spicy finish. Think gingersnap cookies. A bit of a ginger kick balanced with the rich flavour and mild sweetness of the special Japanese black tea.
