The first chapter of the "Japanese Tea Story"

Do you still believe that Japan only produces green tea?

The answer is NO.

We produce black tea and oolong tea, too. Not as much as green tea, though. Unlike black tea and oolong tea that you have in mind, Wakocha (Japanese black tea) and Waoolong (Japanese oolong tea) have something different, which are “umami”. Does it sound interesting? They are still “experimental tea”, but I am sure those newcomers will attract you soon.


I will give you information on tea in Japan through my blog. Hope you will enjoy!
