Organic Cherry Blossom Rose

What better way to celebrate Washington D.C. than with this Japanese green tea flavored with Kyoto cherry and roses; great hot or iced.

Gyokuro

This artisan tea coming from Japan shows the true ingenuity of the Japanese to take something great and make it better. The growing practices for Gyokuro were first established in the 1800’s by shading the tea plants early in the spring for 20 days then carefully plucking the exact leaves to make this exceptional green tea. Gyokuro produces a wonderful briny undertone with just enough astringency and vegetable flavor to show off the exceptional tea and growing methods. Enjoy this tea especially after a fine light meal of steamed fish and vegetables.

Hojicha

Hojicha is a Japanese green tea which is unique because it is roasted over charcoal, whereas green tea is typically steamed. Due to the high roasting temperature, the leaves of the tea turn from green to the reddish-brown color Hojicha is known for. Hojicha has a lower caffeine level than most green teas, making it perfect for afternoon meals and before bed.
