Our organic Mori-machi Dark Tea is a dark tea (kurocha, 黒茶) made in Japan. It is reminiscent of the well-known fermented tea made in Pu-erh City in China and has a similar taste pr ofile due to the fermenting process it goes through. However, it is rather unique because it is produced in Shizuoka, Japan with a new sake fermentation method in a sterile environment. This method produces gallic acid and citric acid that non-fermented tea does not have. These components have caused dark tea to be known, for better or for worse, as a "diet tea". We recommend our organic Mori-machi Dark Tea if you: Are interested in changing or adding a new beverage to your diet Already enjoy dark tea, Pu-erh tea or any other fermented teas Are a coffee drinker who is interested in other slightly sour beverages.
