Houjicha Shiro Iwakuni

Japanese Green Teas are JONA* certified Organic

Houjicha teas have a light- to reddish-brown appearance and are less astringent due to losing catechins during the high-temperature roasting process. The roasted flavours are extracted and dominate this blend: the roasting replaces the vegetative tones of standard green tea with a toasty, slightly caramel-like flavour. The roasting process used to make Houjicha also lowers the amount of caffeine in the tea. Because of its mildness, Houjicha is a popular tea to serve during an evening meal before or after going to sleep and is preferred by children and the elderly.

Houjicha Siro Iwakuni is soft and sweet and can be drunk hot or cold.
