Kyoto Houjicha Powder Premium, 120 g
Denser Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Green teas, Japan, Tea, Warm EnergyUS$33.2京都 極上 粉末 焙じ茶
Top quality at great value
Milled to an ultra-fine particle size of under 10 microns, Tea Hong’s Kyoto Houjicha Powder Premium offers a texture as silky as the highest ceremonial matcha, offering a mesmerising, and deep, dark cacao and molasses profile. Other than the top of the trade grinding setup, the choice of raw material and mastery of the roast are essential elements to create this unique quality. With a unique blend formula created by Grand Tea Master Kikuoka of a high percentage of deep roasted tencha, supported with the sweeter taste of FIR Houjicha, the deep roasting takes place before each session of milling. The intensity of heat together with the optimally paced timing triggers a deep Maillard reaction, transforming the natural amino acids into rich, aromatic pyrazines while preserving a thick, sweet umami backbone. With that heat intensity, we have rested the tea well before releasing, so as to tame down its excess TCM heat energy. Enjoy.

Karigane Gyokuro, a very special kukicha, 120 g
Cold Energy, Green teas, Japan, Lighter Aromas, Milder Tastes, TeaUS$23.8雁が音 - 白折玉露
When the umami, round and refreshing taste of a good Japanese green tea is desired for a party, or for a casual whole day drink, a good quality kukicha is a popular alternative. Like all other kukicha, or shiraore (another popular name of this tea variety), or karigane, Tea Hong’s Karigane Gyokuro is also produced from leaf stems. There is, however, a significant difference. It is produced as a by product of top quality gyokuro, making it sweeter, softer, a lot more savoury, and as refreshing. Like almost all petiole teas, it is more tolerant of infusion discrepancies, making it a great choice for both green tea beginners and as a daily or party drink. It is a great value alternative to gyokuro. Since a large portion of the leaves are replaced with the leaf petioles, this tea is relatively lower in caffeine too.* Net weight: 120g (4.2oz) in Kraft-alu pack

Traditional Premium Shu Cha :
At 1800 m elevation, the temperature difference between day and night can easily be over 15°C even on a hot summer day. That is deep in the mountains in He Song of the Bada region in Xishuangbanna. Leaves grow much slower here, accumulated in them a little bit more plant protein, and the rich minerals from the pristine mountain soils. We pick whole sun-withered leaves from these native tea trees to process and mature into our premium grade shu cha pu’er. Presenting Bada, possibly the richest, deepest, and yet roundest post-fermented tea there is.

Cream of Pu’er 2020, naturally formed shu cha tea nuggets, 120 g
Denser Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Neutral Energy, Pu'er teas, Tea, YunnanUS$25.1勐海春毫 醇香茶頭 2020
Spring Cha Tou:
During the many re-shufflings of the leaves in the post-fermentation process, some of the most tender leaf shoots with naturally higher percentage of pectin stick together, forming these small nuggets. Since they have the highest concentration of vitality substances but less bitter ones as the youngest of the leaves, ‘cha tou’ tastes smoother, sweeter and softer. Tea Hong’s top quality Cream of Puer is made only from prime spring harvests for even better taste and health compositions. A real treat for people who enjoy shu cha pu’er.
