Houjicha

This limited edition Houjicha was grown in Shizuoka Japan on the farm of the Kurihara Family. It is crafted from the spring leaves that were harvested in May. The dark color is due to the roasting process, which smooths out any bitterness and brings out a beautiful aromatic, savory and smoky flavors. The roasting process also reduces the amount of caffeine to be less than decaffeinated tea.
