Oishi Tea Farm Tsushima Black Tea – Island-Grown Japanese Black Tea

Description

This benifuuki cultivar black tea comes from a small family farm on the pristine island of Tsushima between Japan and Korea, where 90% of the island is still virgin forest. The Oishi family has been farming tea there for a decade now, learning to specialize in organic cultivation and processing of black tea. The tea leaves grown in the rich nature of Tsushima were carefully hand-processed. This black tea is gentle and soft with a fruity aroma and a honey-like sweetness. You may want to try it straight first without adding milk or sugar to simply delight in its’ pure color and taste. This item was the earliest product of Oishi Farms and is still a popular representative product.
