Kyobancha Roasted Japanese Green Tea

It is produced in late winter from the lower, larger leaves on the tea plant which grew during the previous season. After a long steaming, the tea is roasted, giving it a warm, sweet, and woody character. Its extremely low caffeine content makes it perfect to drink in the evening.
