Houjicha Green Tea

Late harvest Uji bancha is drum roasted until reaching a deep brown, almost black hue. Incredibly fragrant and easy drinking, this is the perfect winter cup. Sencha leaves and stems are roasted until caramelizing imbuing this tea with deep fragrances of toasted hazelnut, burnt sugar and slight smoke. Houjicha is light on the palate and naturally low in caffeine. This hojicha is sourced from the venerable Kyoto tea shop, Ryuouen. After several years of visiting them and expressing interest in carrying their products, Ryuouen has entrusted Kettl Tea to become their only wholesaler outside of Japan. We cherish this opportunity and the friendship, guidance and delicious tea they provide us.  Tasting Notes: Kettle Corn / Chestnuts / Roasted Barley Loose Leaf: Net Wt. 100g Tea Bags: Individually wrapped tea bag series made from Soiron, recycled and recyclable corn polymer. 12 x 3g individually wrapped bags per box.   Details for Use Brewing: Hot: 1st Steep: 6g of leaf | 220g of water @ 2
