Kurokoji is a rare Japanese green tea that is fermented using koji, a special culinary fermentation mold that transforms the tannins of Japanese green tea into fantastic aromas evoking plum, raisin and Port wine. The fermentation also darkens the tea leaves to a rich chocolate brown color. Rest assured this is intentional for flavor development, and also supports digestive health. Made in very limited quantities, Kurokoji is more expensive than the average Cold Brew, but its unique flavor and function is so worth it.
