Japan: Shaded Yabukita Houjicha

Composed purely of Yabukita stems and coarse leaves, this carefully shaded, late-spring harvest delivers a unique version of Karigane, roasted to perfection by a family of tea growers whose expertise has been passed down over six generations. The special deep roasting method emphasizes the tea’s natural maltiness, imparting to it an intense, pungent aroma without any hint of bitterness.
