The Three Great Black Teas
The term 'Three Great Black Teas' refers to Darjeeling from India, Uva from Sri Lanka, and Keemun from China. While this designation is widely recognized in Japan, it is not an internationally established classification; however, all three are renowned for their distinctive aromas.
Darjeeling is known for its floral muscatel notes, Uva offers a refreshing quality, and Keemun evokes hints of orchids and smokiness. Tasting them side by side reveals their unique characteristics.
