Our organic Houji Cha from Fujieda, Shizuoka prefecture combines roasted leaves and stems in a 50/50 ratio for a delicate balance of sweet and earthy flavors, with a rich, toasty aroma as satisfying as the brewed cup itself. Use 1 teaspoon (3g) dried leaves per 6 ounces of spring water heated to 170-180°, steeping for 3 minutes.
