Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
A sweet and comforting houjicha made from bancha produced by various small farmers in Tanegashima. Last month, we featured a house roasted kukicha from the same collective of farmers, and we're excited to showcase more of their unique offerings with this selection made from the late harvest tea grown throughout the island. Unassuming but deeply inviting, this houjicha is ultra classic and incredibly drinkable.
