Japanese black tea, known as wakoucha, is a rare and prized type of tea produced in limited quantities. Its flavor is typically softer and more refined than traditional Indian or Chinese teas, with mild fruity, floral and slightly sweet notes. The leaves, harvested from the same tea plants as Japan's famous green teas, are oxidized, giving them a rich reddish-brown color. Wakoucha offers a unique balance between softness and depth, making it popular with tea lovers looking for something special.

Listi, ki spreminjajo barvo
Aline, tujka - Gaijin, se je na Japonskem vedno počutila malce ob strani, nesprejeto. Nekega dne je soseda, starejša gospa, prinesla škatlico wakouche – japonskega črnega čaja. »Poduhaj ga, Aline,« je rekla. »Čaj, ki si je dovolil postati nekaj drugega. Nekoč zelen, zdaj črn. A še vedno japonski.« Aline je poskusila čaj in razumela sporočilo: nič ni narobe, če se malo spremeniš. Tisti dan je začela sprejemati svojo novo identiteto – ne kot tujka, ampak kot nekdo, ki je dovolil, da ga življenje oblikuje na novo.
