Organic Sencha Green Tea Loose Leaf from Japan - ShiZen Tea (Organic Houjicha)

It has a lovely flavour. The roasting of the tea does not leave an overpowring taste in the tea and the taste is rich with a soothing feel.

a new unique tea flavour

This tea is tasty, has nutty flavor. This should be the best choice for those who like roasted flavor. It is organic and from Japan, so I think it is safe for long use. I will order again.

Very Good! Love the taste and I enjoy sipping on it all day on the weekends. It is very very Good!

Great quality!

this is my favorite tea. Bring to a boil, steep for 30 seconds.

EXCELLENT quality and flavor OVERALL with proper preparation (depth of flavor depends on water quality, temperature of water, & length of brewing/steeping time). Not my 1st time ordering & purchasing loose leaf tea from Okiwari, Inc. They are well known for their fine Hoji cha. This brand is produced properly with strict quality controls in place. Mfg. packaging is sealed & sturdy (ideal for this type of tea). I consider the product quite a good value & reasonable. Used to ship from Japan via regular international airmail in padded envelope but now arrives via FED EX INT Priority. Has (thus far) arrived intact & fine condition. Store according to Okiwari recommendations.

Worth the wait-ships from Japan and took 16 days from the ordering date to arrive. Seems fresh, nice toasty smell, lovely brownish color and toasty flavor when brewed. Has about half twigs, which from my reading seems typical for hojicha. Love it!
