Haiku Organic Tea Japanese Roasted Green (Hojicha)

Description

In
the early spring, farmers in the Uji district, traditional center of
the Japanese tea industry, cover the tender young leaves with bamboo
screens to protect them from the afternoon sun. While most farmers use
these shade-grown leaves to produce Matcha, the green tea powder used
in the tea ceremony, the Nagata family processes these prized leaves
into Sencha, the highest quality leaf. The bud and top two leaves are
cut, steamed, rolled into tight curls, dried slowly in ovens, then
packed to seal in the fresh taste and aroma of just-picked tea. In
order to insure the richest, most authentic green tea flavor, Haiku
Green Tea teabags are always two full grams of 100% Nagata Japanese
Organic Sencha Tea, the finest quality in the world. True connoisseurs
of Japanese green tea will drink nothing else.
