黑麴原本不是為了做茶?從泡盛、燒酎到 AFTERGLOW 的發酵旅程
什麼是黑麴茶?認識日本幾乎被遺忘的發酵茶 提到日本茶,大多數人會想到抹茶、煎茶或焙茶。 但在日本茶文化之中,還藏著一種極少人知道的特殊茶類, 黑麴茶(Kurokoji Tea)。 即使在日本本地,它也遠不如抹茶知名。 然而對許多資深茶人而言,黑麴茶卻代表著另一條截然不同的製茶道路。 而在 TEAWERX,我們將這項珍貴工藝重新帶回現代,打造了 AFTERGLOW - 一款以日本黑麴菌發酵製成的單一產地發酵茶粉。 黑麴是什麼? 黑麴(Kurokōji)是一種日本傳統發酵菌。 數百年來,它主要被用於沖繩泡盛(Awamori)與日本燒酎(Shochu)的釀造。 與許多人熟悉的味噌、醬油所使用的黃麴不同,黑麴最大的特色在於能產生豐富的天然有機酸,並創造出獨特而細膩的發酵香氣。 長久以來,它一直是日本酒造文化的重要核心之一。 當酒造工藝遇見茶葉 有一天,製茶職人提出了一個有趣的問題: 如果黑麴能改變穀物的風味,那麼它是否也能改變茶葉? 於是,一項極具挑戰性的工藝誕生了。 在綠茶完成初步製作後,引入黑麴菌進行後發酵。 這個過程並非簡單地「讓茶葉發酵」。 而是透過精準控制溫度、濕度與時間,讓茶葉逐漸產生風味轉化。 原本鮮明的苦澀感被柔化。 茶湯變得更加圓潤。 香氣也展現出與綠茶完全不同的層次。 AFTERGLOW 正是運用這種罕見工藝所誕生的作品。 黑麴茶喝起來像什麼?...
