CIBI Grocery Japanese Tea – “Organic Hoji-cha”

Our CIBI organic Hoji-cha is from Nagasaki, Japan (Kyushu, in southern Japan)

-Organic Hoji-cha [100g]
Hoji is a roasted brown tea served in a pot. It is often described as “people’s tea” and generally drunk during or after the meal at home in Japan. The roasted flavours are extracted and predominate. This tea has a light- to reddish-brown appearance, its flavour is quite mild and refreshing, and has less caffeine than other Japanese teas.

“cha” means “tea” in Japanese.
