Description
The region of Ishikawa Prefecture was once called Kaga and has a centuries-long history of roasting the stems of tea leaves. Though the region itself doesn’t have a large commercial tea agriculture industry, they are masters at roasting leaf stems from other parts of Japan.
BOWCHA is our partner in this region, and has provided us with a light roast of high grade spring tea leaf stems.
