Eden Foods Green Tea - Roasted Hojicha, 12 Units / 16 bag

This master tea blender says, 'Innovating, breathtaking, this audacious blend combines familiar Malty notes of Hojicha with exotic Indian spices. A classic revisited.' Chai is the generic word for tea in many countries of southern Asia and is believed to have originated in India over 5, 000 years ago. Usually made with black tea, Eden's is made with Hojicha, roasted summer green tea leaves. Rich smoky, deep flavor similar to that of black, but with less caffeine - 67 percent less than brewed coffee. Traditional chai is made with milk and sugar or honey. We use Edensoy Vanilla or Edensoy Vanilla Extra, sweetened with naturally malted organic grain extract, or EdenBlend naturally sweet from organic amazake. It's delicious plain as well. Spicy, warming, and stimulating. New leaves that grow back after the first Spring harvest are picked, steamed, rubbed and partially dried, then slowly, repeatedly heated and cooled in wood fired iron cauldrons. This roasting changes character and flavor. The Eden brand means: no irradiation, no preservatives, no chemical additives, no food colorings, no refined sugars, no genetically engineered ingredients; the safest, most nutritious, certified organically grown food that can be offered.
