Overview
Kin Houjicha is the top tier offering from the renowned Kyoto tea shop and purveyor Ryuouen.After several years of visiting them and expressing interest in carrying their products, Ryuouen has entrusted Kettl Tea to become their only wholesaler outside of Japan. We cherish this opportunity and the friendship, guidance and delicious tea they provide us. The soft and gentle roast is evidenced by the still greenish hue of the stems. Made from select Uji grown gyokuro stems (karigane), Kin offers deep aromatics and incredibly refined and lasting umami.
