Here is a Japanese black tea from Iwata in Shizuoka. It was made from the Kôshun variety, which is famous for highly fragrant senchas. This variety is also very suitable for black tea.
In the nose, this tea is very rich, with confectionary scents evoking frangipane as well as apricots.
In the mouth, the liquor is velvety, with a delicate, subtle touch of astringency. Next, the palate discovers deep aromas of sumptuous mouth-watering peaches and apricots, and a slightly creamy sensation.
This tea has great length in the mouth, and its sweet, fruity aromas provide lasting pleasure.
