Vendor Notes
This traditional Houjicha, crafted from roasted stem tea (Boucha) sourced from various small farmers on Tanegashima Island, offers a deeply comforting and aromatic experience. A slightly darker roast elevates sweet, toasted notes of almond and burnt sugar, while the underlying fruitiness of the stems mellows into a poached pear essence, creating a lasting, profound depth in every sip.
