Fragrant, tangy and beautifully layered, Kitajima Uchu Black Tea Umeshu adds a Japanese tea twist to a traditional plum liqueur. It blends umeshu made from Nankobai ume grown in Oita with Japanese black tea from Shizuoka. Expect floral and herbal aromas of dried apricot, bergamot, cherry and anise, leading into marmalade, spiced anise and sweet almond on a rich, viscous palate. The tea adds gentle tannin and a pleasant bitterness that balances the sweetness and tang. Enjoy neat, over ice or topped with soda. Elegant, intriguing and dangerously sippable.
