Premium Houjicha
Premium Houjicha's first flush tea leaves are harvested in May by our organic partner: NaturaliTea. After harvesting, the whole leaves are steamed, rolled, dried, and roasted, which creates this rich and rounded tea.
-------
These premium first flush tea leaves are harvested in May from our organic Naturalitea gardens. After harvesting the whole leaves are steamed, rolled and dried and finally roasted which creates this rich and rounded tea. Most of the caffeine is lost during the roasting process so this is a great late afternoon/eveing treat. The infusion has a reddish brown and has a soothing earthy aroma.
Character: Rich, Smooth, Warm
Ingredients: Green loose-leaf tea
Brewing instructions: Use one spoonful for one cup, brew at 90°C/ 195°F for 90 seconds
Meet Tamiko Kinezuka who runs the final tea processing facility for Naturalitea. Tamiko carefully checks the shape and condition of the leaves and the smell, taste and color of the brew. To maintain her superb sense of smell, Tamiko refrains from eating spices in the month prior to spring final processing.

How can I learn more about my partner farmers?
We are so excited you are asking! We are writing blog posts with each of our farmers and organizing webinars (time permitting – these are very busy people!) where they talk about what matters to them when producing tea and trading with us. This will be a great opportunity to ask questions and learn about tea. Please sign up to the newsletter and connect on social media to make sure you don’t miss any of these special events to connect with our partner farmers..
