Overview
Pairing: breakfast pastries, aged cheese, or dark chocolate
A wistful Japanese black tea with the aroma of dates and straw bales. The cup is full-bodied with a soft texture and fine tobacco character. The aftertaste has the sweetness of fresh plums and a lazy, daydream appeal. Produced May 2025 by Shunichi Mine at the Mine Seicha tea farm in Ureshino City of Saga Prefecture. Ureshino black tea uses the "Tamaryokucha" (curly green tea) technique giving it a distinct shape with a smooth, astringent-resistant mouthfeel.
