Morita Tea Garden #0599.S2 Morita Tea Garden #05: "Kyoka" Hojicha Roasted Green Tea from Sayama 京香 | Teatico
總覽
The roasting of deep steamed, late flushing spring leaves produces a light, refreshing hojicha tea with a wonderful aroma. We do a strong roast of the tea leaves, in the Kyoto style, which removes astringency and strengthens the aroma.

Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world. On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.
