The world’s best Japanese tea has traditionally been produced in the Uji River Valley near the ancient capital of Kyoto. Hidden high up the valley lies the remote, centuries-old tea plantation of the Nagata family, the source of Haiku Organic Japanese Teas. The Nagatas use organic farming and traditional harvesting and processing methods. The teabags used are made from unbleached natural fibers, the ink is soy-based, and the tea boxes are 100% recycled paperboard. On the inside of each tea box you’ll find a haiku to inspire or relax you.
Low
in caffeine with a mellow flavor, hojicha is harvested in early summer. The
leaves are steamed and slowly roasted to produce a tea that is calming to
drink.
