Ota Shigeki Seicha has sold only Agrochemical-Free (Original Organic) tea from Ureshino, Saga Prefecture.

Japanese Black Tea (Straight)

Black tea made in Japan is called “wakoucha”, literally meaning “harmonious crimson tea” and translates to “Japanese black tea”. (In Japan, black tea is labeled by the crimson color of the steeped tea rather than the black color of the dry leaves.) Most of these teas here are made with leaves from plants originally meant for green tea, but cultivated and processed for black tea.
