Ingredients: Black Tea. Harvest Summer. Region Shizuoka. Sourced from Yunomi’s tea partners throughout Japan.
Company description not available.
This tea comes in small 2g sachets. Directions are to steep 4 minutes at 90C (194F) in one cup. Hard to say if one cup is 8oz, rather doubtful., probably less is better. I used 208F slightly hotter water and brewed for 2 minutes.
Flavor is malty and sweet, rather like a Yunnan black but nowhere near the strength. Adding milk somewhat kills the delicate profile. I only ordered 50g or 25 tea bags for $9.99 and wish I’d ordered the 500g, but then this is really pricey for tea bags. Not exactly economical if you drink two a day. So it’s back to English tea bags, this is carrying me over until my box from England arrives. I’m trying to stay off coffee in the a.m., but I need milk in tea to buffer my a.m. Meds. The good news is, haven’t had a cup of coffee since mid-December of last year.
Still, have to recommend these as a step up from regular tea bags. Wish I was a tiny Japanese woman using an equally tiny tea cup. I’d feel so elegant and Zen instead, but have to accept I wake up Slavic rolling with a heavy mug. Japan all the way in the afternoon though.
Flavors: Malt
is is just me or is there something funny about the idea of drinking Japanese black tea with milk? I’ve only tried one and it was so-so, so I think I didn’t really get the full experience. the same happened to me with Korean black tea. I’ll get back to those.
These tea bags are really small, only 2g of tea. I have to take medications in the morning that are hard on my stomach, and I normally take them with black tea and milk, I need the milk to cushion the pills.
