Unlike most houjicha which is made from lower-quality bancha, Zansho is made by roasting first flush sencha leaves and stems, resulting in a deep, full-bodied tea. The leaves give Zansho its punch and body with the stems providing a touch of sweetness. With a well-developed roast, this houjicha is strong enough to pair with meals yet complex enough to be enjoyed on its own.

Sipdown! (13 | 229)
This was a 10g pouch that Tezumi included as a free sample with one of my teaware orders.
It’s nice. This hojicha is made from a spring sencha instead of the usual bancha. It has a bit more bitterness to it than a standard hojicha to me, but also more complexity. Lots of layers of roastiness with deep wood and mineral smoke, crisp autumn leaves, and rich nuts. Sweetness blooms at the end of the sip and the finish is long and mellow. Tasty!
