Soft in texture and low in astringency, it highlights the natural sweetness and refinement that distinguish Japanese black tea from stronger, more tannic black teas produced elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"788\"\u003eUnlike heavily oxidized black teas, Kyo-Kocha offers a clean, elegant profile that feels calm and balanced, making it easy to enjoy throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"821\"\u003eMellowed Through Slow Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"977\"\u003eFreshly processed black tea can taste sharp or angular.
