We pack the tea in house immediately after roasting to ensure a fresh and fragrant tea awaits you.

Miyazaki Kamairicha Houjicha

This houjicha, roasted in house using a base of bancha produced in the kamairicha style, is one of the most unique we have come across and featured at Kettl. While bancha is a traditional foundation for houjicha, it's incredibly rare to see it undergo pan firing before roasting—a preparation typically reserved for higher grade, first harvest leaves. The result is an incredibly sweet brew with deep, dried fruit notes and a lingering finish with just a hint of fresh tobacco.
