Golden Harvest – Matcha.com Hojicha Tea Powder
Selected from the same quality of potent and pure whole green tea leaves, this unique Japanese loose-leaf tea becomes Hojicha through a delicate roasting process.
Personally chosen by co-founder Dr. Andrew Weil for the vibrant, wooden aromatics imparted through the roasting process, and the smooth-to-sip composition.
