Inspired by the rugged slopes where manzanita trees twist and shine in the sun, Manzanita Hojicha is a medium-roast green tea that captures the quiet strength of one of California’s iconic plants. Smooth and grounding, it unfolds in layers of roasted barley, rich caramel, and nutty depth — like sitting by a hearth after a long walk among red bark and golden light.
Crafted from hand-picked Camellia sinensis leaves, this green tea has moderately mature leaves to soften the roast and lend a subtle woodsy sweetness. Minimally oxidized and gently roasted, the blend balances depth and clarity — comforting yet refined, roasted but not heavy.
The first steep opens with a mellow, nutty nose and hints of caramelized sugar, leading into a body of warm, toasty grain. The stems add a grounding undertone reminiscent of sun-warmed wood, echoing the manzanita groves that inspired its name. Re-steeped, the flavors round out further — smoother, softer, and layered with a lingering sweetness.
