NIKO NEKO - TSUBAKI / Houjicha Powder - (Halal Certified)

[ Artisan Roasted Green Tea Powder ]

TSUBAKI is the impeccably palatable medium roasted green tea. Stone-grounded to a delicate powder, this Yabukita cultivated green tea is uniquely roasted over charcoal in a traditional Japanese porcelain pot, resembling a charismatic golden-brown shade.

Highly regarded for its fascinating toasted hazelnut flavour and rich smokey fragrance, this experience ends with soft lulls of sweet caramel and a seaweed-like finish.
