Japanese Black Tea from Shizuoka

Japanese black tea powder is a rare but delicious addition to both drinks and foods. It can be used to create rich wakocha lattes or added as flavouring to all sorts of foods and baked goods. Powdered form makes it easy to create rich milk teas as the amount of water required is minimal compared to leaf teas, thus allowing the consistency to be creamy and delicious!
