Mitsuka Houjicha

This tea is a unique oxidized houjicha made from the leaf and stem separated during the sencha finishing process. Hiruma san has invented an oxidation method that incorporates UV light machines of his own design as well as tea processing machines imported from Taiwan. His houjicha has won the Japanese Tea Selection Paris Gran Prix Award and for good reason—he creates teas unlike any other producer in Japan. We acquired his tea unroasted and gave it a deeper roast to balance out the floral and sweet notes present from the oxidizing process.

Tasting Notes: Red Berries, Brioche, Milk Chocolate

Tea Origin: Sayama, Saitama
