About the Product
Tokachi Black Bean Tea is both an unique, savory tea and a 100% natural & healthy snack, from the fields of Hokkaido to the tea in your cup!
Black soybeans sun-ripened in the Tokachi Plains - the agricultural heartland of Hokkaido - are carefully harvested, sorted and dried under cool conditions for half a day before packing. They are 100% organic and naturally caffeine-free.
Japanese have long appreciated the purple brew of black soybean tea not only for its unique flavor, but also for containing anthocyanin. This natural polyphenol is released from under the skin of the beans while brewing. Polyphenols are believed to be beneficial for blood conditions, as an anti-inflammatory and beneficial for eyesight.
Each batch of tea can be brewed up to six times using the same beans, then the beans themselves can be eaten as a healthy snack. Thus, this tea is ideal for bringing along on road trips, hiking and camping. Also, by letting the beans seep in a thermos for up to 24 hours, the natural sweet flavors emerge even stronger.
Within Hokkaido, this tea is only available for sale in one shop in Sapporo, making it a true specialty item. Available in rustic tea box packaging, Tokachi Black Bean Tea is recommended as a hot beverage.

about the producer
Uji Seicha is a family-owned tea company with a 55 year history in Sapporo! Founder Hitoshi Inoue was first sent to Hokkaido as an executive of a Kyoto-based tea company, a job he left to independently establish Uji Seicha in 1965 in Tsukisamu, Sapporo. His mission - to introduce quality Japanese teas to new markets - continues to this day. Current President Takashi Inoue, like his father, maintains the family passion for tea production, while striving to master both original varieties and time-tested classics. Inoue san utilizes proprietary techniques and local ingredients to take advantage of the cold, northern climate of Hokkaido. Uji Seicha works with trusted tea farmers throughout Japan to bring selected teas to the company's Sapporo facility for production. The Inoue family mission - to introduce quality Japanese teas to new customers - remains strong, and in 2010 they opened their showcase café in their small corner of Sapporo. The intimate café serves their entire line of teas, along with paired food and a variety of merchandise. We can only hope that the Inoue family business continues for another 55 years! ingredients
