Japanese black tea boom” attracting worldwide attention Pairing experience of Japanese black tea using 100% domestic organic tea leaves with moist pounded tea

2023.09.16

Patisserie & Bakery “Kogasaka Bake” has been selling organic Japanese black tea since September 1, 2023, which the patissier has carefully selected from more than 100 varieties of Japanese black tea to match the sweets.

There are many Japanese black teas in Japan that are rich in variety, unique, and of high quality.
There are more than 100 variations of tea varieties alone. Even tea leaves of the same variety can vary greatly in taste and aroma depending on their place of origin, processing method, and maker, making it a very deep and intriguing world. Kogasaka Bake offers a lineup of Japanese black tea to be enjoyed with sweets carefully selected by our patissiers.

Kogasaka Bake recommends “Benifuuki”.
This black tea is best enjoyed with Earl Grey Pound, a specialty of Machida City.
It is characterized by its sweetness and richness reminiscent of caramel and fruity aroma like Darjeeling, and can also be enjoyed with milk tea.
Its gorgeous aroma and black tea-like astringency make it a perfect match for Earl Grey Pound.

Currently, we have three types of Japanese black tea, roasted tea, roasted oolong tea, and green tea in our lineup, but we plan to add more attractive Japanese teas to our selection of baked goods and sweets using Japanese black tea, as well as seasonal products.

We hope you will enjoy a “special tea time” with our delicious teas and sweets made with care.
