MOYA Wakocha – Japanese black tea unlike any other
Meet Wakocha – an extraordinary black tea from Japan, which seduces with its delicacy and depth of taste. Its leaves give an infusion with an exceptionally noble profile: velvety, slightly floral, with notes of honey and a subtle spicy finish. It is an excellent choice for those looking for a refined alternative to classic black teas.
The name "kou-cha" (紅茶), literally meaning "crimson-coloured tea", is not accidental. In soft Japanese water, the infusion takes on red-blue tones, while in European conditions - a deep, dark amber colour, which delights from the first glance. It comes from the Mie region on Honshu island - a place where the tradition of tea cultivation meets attention to every detail.
Properties of Wakocha Tea – Japanese Black Loose Leaf Tea
Wakocha is a unique black tea from Japan that works great as an addition to meals and desserts - its delicate, slightly earthy taste breaks the sweetness and emphasizes the aromas of dishes.
It is a loose-leaf tea, which - like all black tea - undergoes fermentation after harvesting, giving it a deep color and a milder flavor profile. Thanks to this, Wakocha contains less caffeine than, for example, green sencha, which makes it a good option for drinking in the evening.
Wakocha black tea supports the digestive system and can provide valuable nutrients such as amino acids, beta-carotene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and phosphorus. This is still a rare tea in Japan - grown by a few farmers, making it an exceptional choice for lovers of true quality.
How to brew Wakocha tea?
To fully bring out the flavour of Japanese Wakocha black tea, it is worth ensuring the right brewing conditions:
- 2–3 g of leaves per 200 ml of water
- 90–95°C
- 2–3 minutes
This is a loose-leaf tea that tastes best when freshly brewed – then it gains the full aroma and a subtle tannic finish.
