Historical Origin and Craftsmanship

Maruko, located in Suruga Ward of Shizuoka City, is renowned as the origin of Japanese black tea. In the Meiji period, former samurai Genkichi Tada pioneered black tea cultivation here, introducing a tea culture that continues to thrive. This powdered tea embodies that legacy, bringing traditional flavors to modern convenience.

Made from Premium “Yabukita” Tea Leaves

Though “Yabukita” is primarily known as a green tea cultivar, it also produces outstanding black tea leaves. This powder preserves the subtle natural sweetness and deep umami of Yabukita black tea without the need for added sugar or sweeteners.

Rich Flavor with Natural Sweetness

Unlike many black teas that require sugar, this tea’s unique processing brings out a gentle sweetness and smooth taste that appeals even to those new to black tea.

Ideal for Daily Enjoyment

Enjoy as a warm comforting drink or chilled for a refreshing iced tea. Its pure powdered form allows easy mixing and quick preparation, making it perfect for tea lovers seeking authentic Japanese flavor without hassle.
