Classic style Japanese tea made with roasted leaves from Autumn and Winter harvests. A classic processing style from Japan, delivering the warmth in a cup.
A refined version of bancha, which is a popular everyday tea in Japan. While it looks dark, Houjicha is technically a green tea, offering a uniquely smooth flavour with accents of chocolate, coffee and roasted barley.
Although less well known than matcha and sencha, we feel that a Houjicha loose leaf tea should be a key part of every Japanese tea collection.
