TASTING NOTE

"Tochiotome" Black Tea: The Intensity of Kenya and the Sweetness of Strawberry
This tea is a bold creation that blends the strength of the Kenyan highlands with the delicate flavor of the famous Japanese strawberry. This characterful, rich, and indulgent black tea offers a "Tea Time" interpretation of Japan's most coveted red fruit, ideal for those seeking a structured and aromatic cup.

SOMMELIER'S NOTE
A Kenyan black tea crafted using the CTC method

The base of this blend rests on an exceptional Kenyan black tea, prepared using the traditional CTC (Crushing, Tearing, Curling) method.

  • Powerful Aromas: This technique allows for the creation of small brown pearls that instantly release the full strength and richness of the black tea.
  • Malty Notes: When brewed, this tea develops aromas of wheat and barley, reminiscent of the richness of whole grains.
  • A Visual Blend: Among the tea leaves, you can see real pieces of dried strawberries and strawberry leaves, guaranteeing an authentic blend.

AROMATIC PROFILE
Between red fruits and cereal notes

This fragrant black tea is distinguished by its aromatic richness and deep amber color:

  • On the nose: An immediate and delicious fragrance of ripe strawberry, without any artificial notes.
  • On the palate: A full-bodied and structured brew. The black tea base provides a slightly woody structure that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the fruit. Notes of wheat and barley complete this tea for a rich and malty bouquet reminiscent of a dried fruit and whole-grain bar.
  • The finish: A lingering note of red fruit that leaves a comfortingly sweet sensation on the palate.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK

Tochiotome Noir is often described as the "happy tea" of our collection:

  • "An incredible aroma": "It's like opening a basket of fresh strawberries. It's my go-to afternoon tea."
  • "Delicious with milk": "I often make it with a little milk and honey; it's a real liquid dessert!"
  • "Perfect balance": "The black tea is present but doesn't overpower the strawberry flavor; it's perfectly balanced."

THE BENEFITS OF CTC BLACK TEA

Thanks to its specific processing method that breaks down the leaf cells, CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) black tea offers an infusion particularly rich in active ingredients and vitality benefits:

  • Energy and Concentration: Its fine cut allows for a rapid release of theine, providing an immediate and lasting energy boost, ideal for stimulating mental alertness without the abrupt stimulating effect of coffee.
  • Antioxidant Power: Highly concentrated in theaflavins and thearubigins, it helps neutralize free radicals and supports cardiovascular health by promoting better blood circulation.
  • Digestion Aid: Known for its gentle astringent properties, CTC tea is an excellent ally after a heavy meal to facilitate metabolism and soothe the digestive system.
  • Stress Reduction: Rich in L-theanine, it promotes a state of alert relaxation, helping to regulate cortisol (the stress hormone) while improving mood.
  • Metabolic Support: Its richness in polyphenols can contribute to the activation of fat metabolism as part of a balanced diet.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR CTC BLACK TEA?
Hot, as a latte, or iced tea

Thanks to its structure, Tochiotome Black is the perfect companion for energizing breakfasts or afternoon breaks.

  • Temperature: 85°C - 95°C. Very hot water is necessary to extract the malty notes of the black tea.
  • Time: Infuse 2 to 2.5g of tea at a temperature of 2 to 2'30 minutes.
  • A Latte: Like all good Kenyan teas, Tochiotome Black pairs wonderfully with a splash of milk, which will accentuate its strawberry-cream flavor.
  • Iced: Also excellent as iced tea, garnished with a few fresh strawberries for a premium summer refreshment.

WHY CHOOSE "TOCHIOTOME" BLACK TEA?

  • The Perfect Afternoon Tea: This is the ideal tea to accompany pastries, scones, or a square of dark chocolate.
