Organic Hojicha - Roasted Houjicha Japanese Green Tea
Although most tea companies sell hojicha made from late harvest tea leaves e.g bancha or old stale leaves, here at Yuuki-Cha we carefully select only organic hojicha made from fresh sencha leaves and stems taken from the FIRST HARVEST. This imparts a smooth, sweet flavor and refreshing aftertaste in the tea which is seldom found in late harvest hojicha. In addition, unlike heavy roasted hojicha that have a strong smoky aroma, our organic houjicha teas are freshly and lightly roasted in a careful manner giving them a pleasant fresh aroma!
