Long have we waited for another Houjicha to grace our menu. Too long did we rest on our laurels, content with a roasted kukicha. But no. Today, we bring back the honored tradition of a Houjicha in our list. The Phoenix Roost is a delightfully toasty green tea, roasted over charcoal with dark flavors of nuts, toast, smoke, and earth. It’s also much lower in caffeine than other green teas!
