Miyazaki Withered Houjicha

Zach had the pleasure of meeting Miyazaki san in the winter of 2015. Revisiting his collection almost a decade later has revealed a quantum leap in the character and depth of his teas. Fully committed to a hands-off organic approach to cultivation, his factory work and penchant for exploring the potential of processing reward the drinker with unrivaled experiences with Japanese teas. This otherworldy roasted houijcha, made from an oolong base, while coarse in appearance, displays the remarkable range of flavor, aroma, and texture Miyazaki san can coax out of his land and process.
