Australia Arakai Summer Black Tea

Sold Out £5.30

A smooth sweet tea with notes of cinnamon and hints of wood, reminiscent of Taiwanese black teas.

Sourced direct from Arakai Estate, a small family run estate estate in Australia who have only just started commercial tea production having planted their first tea plants back in 2012. Although Arakai exclusively use Japanese cultivars, they have drawn inspiration from Taiwanese processing techniques and their tea as a result exhibits unique characteristics with notes reminiscent of both Japanese and Taiwanese teas.

Arakai's dedication to producing unique high quality tea has already seen them win awards for best Australian green tea and best overall green tea and best Australian black tea (this very tea!) in the Golden Leaf Awards.
