This Houjicha is crafted from carefully selected tea stems, gently roasted at a low temperature to reveal a delicate, toasted aroma known as hojika while enhancing the tea's natural depth and umami. Revered for its distinctive character and refined complexity, this remarkable tea has earned a devoted following in Japan.
