Description
When it comes to tea plants, it’s all about making the most of every part! Mr. Cho embraces this philosophy to create an unforgettable taste experience. His new take on Hojicha uses the twigs of the tea plant instead of the usual stems or leaves, resulting in a delightful and unexpected fragrance from the roasting process!
Its syrupy, amber-colored liquor showcases gentle woody and vanilla notes. While it’s intensely roasted, this rare tea still reveals fruity undertones.
