For this organic Houjicha loose leaf tea, we have collected and roasted the stems, larger buds and leaves of the first tea harvest of the spring season.
The leaves were cultivated and produced without using any pesticides or chemical fertilizers, then roasted with high heat to bring out a beautiful brown color and wonderfully aromatic fragrance. Mountain-harvested tea leaves have a nice fragrance and lingering taste, giving them a delicious flavor that can be finely distinguished from flat-land tea fields.
