window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-MB1EYR22MT'); A roasted Japanese green tea believed to have been developed in Kyoto in the 1920’s. Made from Bancha (autumn harvest leaves), processed like a traditional Japanese green tea, then heavily roasted at high temperatures – decreasing the caffeine, increasing sweetness, and giving Houjicha its characteristic, sought-after toasted/nutty/caramel flavor. Ours is a bit lighter and more complex than many Houjichas we’ve tried previously, which is why we just had to add this tea to our collection. Enjoy the coffee-like aromas, and toasted nutty flavor of this unique Japanese green tea. Tasting Notes: buttered toast, baked plums, caramel, toasted rice.
