Japan Bancha Goishicha Dark Tea
£19.50
A truly unique tea that is rarely found within Japan, let alone outside. It possesses an incredible aroma and an equally unusual and lingering sour taste with elements of lemon, mushroom and soya sauce.

Tasting Notes:
- Completely unique aroma
- Lingering sour taste with elements of lemon, mushroom and soya sauce.
