Reviving a 100 year old tradition of black tea from Murakami, this wakoucha is named for Niigata’s snowy climate. Blended from modern cultivars and traditional seed-grown material, it offers a uniquely smooth, gentle, and comforting flavour. Yukiguni (雪国) means Snow Country and is a poetic term for the snowy lands of Northern Japan.
