Australian Black Tea & Yuzu

A modern twist on a classic black tea and lemon

Beautiful Yuzu citrus aroma with the taste of black tea.  It has a light body, low acidity and creamy froth mouthfeel. Grown in the rich soil of Far North Queensland, free of pesticides and herbicides, our Australian black tea is carefully cold brewed to perfection without the astringency of lesser brews.  Balanced with Yuzu – or for our friends in Korea, Yuja – this aromatic fruit is the ultimate citrus hit, with a burst of ripe fruit that takes you back to nature with every sip of this cleverly brewed alcohol free drink 🐵

INGREDIENTS

Lightly carbonated 12hr cold brewed Australian black tea, natural yuzu juice, potassium sorbate, nitrogen

Black Tea (botanical name: Camellia Sinensis)

Leaf tea starts with the same plant and the different processing techniques contribute to the end resulting tea type – white, green, oolong, or black.  Black tea is created through the various processing technique and skills of the tea farmer.  There are hundreds of different types of black tea depending on the cultivar or variety, terroir, and style of processing.  Around 90% of Australian Black tea has been growing in northern Australia since the late 1880’s with plants from Sri Lanka.

Yuzu or Yuja in Korea (botanical name: Citrus Junos) is a citrus fruit that is said to have originated in Central China.  It is an odd lemon-like fruit with a lot of seeds and is prickly to pick, has a difficult flavour to describe.  At best it is tart like a grapefruit with mandarin overtones.  Yuzu is widely used in Japan and Korea as a sauce, marmalade, preserve, or vinegar.  It is not usually eaten as a fruit.  Yuzu farms can be found in Australia, however, the fruit is usually presold to restaurants and rarely available for sale.

Alcohol free, no added sugar or sweetener, no artificial flavours or colours, Australian grown tea free of herbicides or pesticides

TASTING NOTES

Judges notes: The initial nose is a pleasant black tea. It smells of freshly brewed tea leaves with very citrusy fruits, lime, lemon. The flavour of the tea is very pleasant and it is balanced perfectly with the citrus.
