Style: Roasted Green
Origin: Grown at Westholme BC, Canada
Description: Based on a traditional Japanese Houjicha, a roasted twig and leaf tea, we created this roasted green tea from the fine twigs and leaves of our Camelia sinensis (tea) plants, under which local families of California Quail often make their home. Hand-cut and hand-harvested for processing, the tea and twigs are wok-fired at high heat to capture a comforting smooth roasted flavour. Fibrous green woody notes appear in second and third steepings.
Tasting Notes: This wonderful roasted green tea offers a gentle steep of sweetly toasted warm tobacco. The tea grows in sweetness as it sits in the cup. On second and third steeps, the taste is reminiscent of fresh-cut autumn firewood. When made into an iced tea with the Cold Steep Method, a refreshing smoked apricot with an understated dryness is tangible on the palate.
Brewing Instructions: 2 - 4 g per cup. Pour 100ºC water (full boil) over twigs and leaf. Steep for 5 minutes. Re-steep 2 - 4 times. For Iced Tea, we recommend using the Cold Steep Method.

Changes in shipping from Canada to the USA has shifted significantly with restrictions with couriers, rising shipping charges, taxes and tariffs, and volatile regulations surrounding transportation of food items, making the process of shipping our teas + tisanes across the border extremely challenging.
We have made the difficult decision to pause shipping to the US currently and are consistently searching for alternative methods so as this is only a temporary pause. We hope you understand and look forward to serving our US tea community again soon. For updates, sign up for our newsletter where we will be sharing information and updates on alternative methods of shipping as frequently as possible.
