Japanese Green Tea

This extraordinary grade of Matcha Gen-mai Cha is seldom seen outside of Japan. The components are of exceptional quality, and produce a harmonious, well-balanced infusion, which is eminently smooth. Toasted rice add a soothing, mellow quality to the complex vegetal flavor.

This is an organic green tea, produced from Camellia sinensis twigs. The mellow cup has delicate, fresh hay flavor notes. Naturally low in caffeine.

Ho-ji Cha is a roasted Japanese green tea. In this organic Ho-ji Cha offering, the tea leaves have been ground into a fine powder, similar to Matcha tea. This produces a thick, rich liquor with a full, cocoa-like mouth feel. Toasty notes lend a warming quality to the flavorful cup. For optimal enjoyment, we recommend sifting the powder before whisking. Packed in a small, matte silver tin.

Please note that the tin label cannot be personalized.
