Japanese Bancha Houghi Cha

This tea is also refereed to as 'Hojicha', it is a high quality Bancha that has been toasted to give a brown loose leaf finished. This idea came from a Tea Merchant in the 1920's when he had surplus tea stock which he did not want to waste. This is a very sweet delicate tea with no astringency.
