Organic Japanese Black Tea: Chiran, Kagoshima

Discover an elegant expression of Japanese black tea with our organic Kagoshima black tea, crafted on century-old tea farms in Chiran. Grown without chemical pesticides or fertilisers and fully oxidised to bring out its warm character, this tea is a refined take on Japan's lesser-known black tea tradition (和紅茶, wakōcha).

Rich yet smooth, the leaves are harvested and fully fermented to develop a gentle natural sweetness and inviting aroma, creating a cup that's delicious without added sugar.

Chiran sits on Kagoshima's volcanic plateau, ash from the region's volcanoes has built a deep, mineral-rich soil, and that terroir is a large part of why tea from the far south tastes the way it does.

How to Brew Tea (Hot)

Important: Always bring fresh water to a full boil first, then allow it to cool to the recommended temperature before brewing.

1. Add 6g (approx. 1 tablespoon) of tea leaves to a teapot.
2. Pour in 260ml of water at 95–100°C.
3. Steep for 60 seconds.
4. Pour completely into your teacup and enjoy.

For subsequent infusions, steep briefly (or pour immediately) and slightly increase the water temperature with each brew. Brew it in a Tokoname kyusu and serve in a yunomi.
