Product Description:
Elegant innovation and Japanese craftsmanship define this distinctive tea-infused umeshu. Uchu Black Tea Umeshu is a contemporary expression that blends traditional Japanese plum liqueur with the aromatic depth of black tea, creating a layered and contemplative drinking experience. Made using ripe Japanese ume plums, the base umeshu delivers natural sweetness and bright acidity that form the foundation of the wine. The infusion of black tea introduces structure, gentle bitterness and aromatic complexity, elevating the profile beyond a simple fruit liqueur. On the palate, richness and freshness are held in careful balance, with tea tannins providing grip and shape. The alcohol is deliberately restrained, allowing flavour nuance and texture to take centre stage. This umeshu is both expressive and refined, suitable for slow sipping or thoughtful pairing. It represents a modern interpretation of umeshu that respects tradition while embracing innovation. The result is a harmonious fusion of fruit, tea and subtle spice that feels both familiar and unexpected.

PALATE
– Textural and balanced
Sweet-tart ume fruit unfolds across the palate, complemented by black tea bitterness, subtle tannin grip and a rounded, silky mouthfeel.

FINISH
– Long and gently savoury
A lingering finish marked by plum skin, tea spice and a soft, drying edge that adds elegance and persistence.
