Houjicha is good quality Japanese green tea that is roasted in the final stage of its preparation. In less skilled hands than our artisan supplier, Houjucha often has a burnt odor and taste. However, the brown-colored liquid from the first infusion has a very mild roasted flavor and is exquisite tasting. The gentle natural sweetness and tangy aftertaste are very satisfying. The second brew offers a milder, less robust taste without the complexity of the first, but is still very delightful. Dare we say, Organic Houjicha will remind many of a high-quality Oolong. Houjicha is especially refreshing when served chilled on a hot day and is significantly lower in caffeine than other green teas. It is often served with the evening meal in Japan. - Certified Organic - Produced according to the strict guidelines of JAS 【Two Sizes Available】 100g (3.5 oz) * Makes approx. 45 to 50 servings 1kg (2.2 lbs) *Please see the bulk page. * Makes approx. 450 to 500 servings
