Tsukigase Hōjicha | Organic | spring/autumn blend

月ヶ瀬 焙じ茶

Old-school hōjicha made from mature tea leaves and stems harvested in late spring and early autumn from tea farmer Fumiaki Iwata’s organically cultivated Yabukita gardens in Tsukigase, Nara.
The large, mostly intact leaves and stems infuse into a very warming and rounded tea, with a characteristic caramelised sense of sweetness from Iwata-san’s always careful final roasting.
The mature leaf material also results in a tea naturally low in caffeine, lending Tsukigase Hōjicha a mild, but deeply calming body sensation that makes it an ideal everyday-style tea to enjoy at any time of the day.
