Category: 紅茶

和束町の丘陵地で東家が手掛ける小ロットの国産紅茶。SamidoriとAsahiの品種をブレンドし、なめらかでありながら心地よいキレのある味わいに仕上げました。渋みはほとんどなく、スパイスやドライフルーツのニュアンスと、優しく長く続く甘みが広がります。

Azuma Wakouchaは、京都南部の山間部・和束町で栽培・製造されています。この地域は碾茶栽培と抹茶生産で最もよく知られています。このお茶は、東家が毎年少量生産する和紅茶のひとつです。夏摘みの直前に、ウンカと呼ばれる小さな虫が葉に群がります。この虫が葉に微妙なダメージを与えることで、完成した紅茶に個性と深みが加わります。

このお茶の魅力を最大限に引き出すには、5分間抽出し、ミルクは加えずに、この甘く滑らかで温かみのある一杯をぜひお楽しみください。

Emma K. ★★★★★

I keep going back for another cup as soon as the pot's empty—the smoothness from those Samidori and Asahi leaves is just right. Even letting it steep a little longer than I usually would didn't bring out any harsh bite, just that gently brisk character the description promises.

William ★★★★★

The lack of astringency is what won me over—it's smooth enough for an afternoon cup without that sharp bite. The loose leaf unfurls beautifully and the blend of Samidori and Asahi gives it a gentle briskness that keeps me coming back.

Emma ★★★★★

The briskness is exactly what I hoped for—it wakes up my afternoon without that sharp bite that puts me off other blacks. I've been brewing it a bit cooler and letting it sit, and the balance between the two cultivars comes through beautifully.
