Tasting note
This tea is hand-pan-roasted on firewood. Savory roasted flavor will remind you as if you are surrounding the bonfire, and you will recognize your body gets warm up from inside. This tea is really nice option for relaxing in winter nights.
We selected 3 years aged leaves and branches as the material which have less caffeine. Also most of them were evaporated in the process of fire roasting. This tea is good for those who caffeine sensitive, kids and expectant mothers.
