Select Tea Gift Boxes │ MOKOMA Select Tea

JAPANESE SELECT TEA (sencha + hojicha).  A combination of Premium Japanese Sencha and elegant Karigane Hōjicha.  The sencha is a green tea known for its light-bodied flavour with a hint of bitterness (depending on how you prepare it) and almost sweet aroma.  A must-have for any green tea lover.  This hōjicha is a blend of first-picked kabusecha sprouts and tencha and twigs.  These are blended then deep roasted to become this highly aromatic hōjicha.  Look for the sublime chocolate notes. The roasting process reduces the caffeine level to a minimum amount. Making it perfect for everyone, including children.

Sencha tin contains 50g of tea.
Hojicha tin contains 35g of tea.

FRUITY SELECT TEA (lychee eclipse + citrus zing).  This special gift box combines Elle's flavorful favorites; Lychee Eclipse and Citrus Zing.  Both are very aromatic and produce contrasting flavours.  The Lychee Eclipse produces a medium-bodied cup of black tea with the sweet and fruity notes of the lychee running through the experience.  The Citrus Zing also produces a fruity cup, but the underlying base is much lighter than the dark tea of the Lychee Eclipse.  Here the citrus fruit shines bright and provides zippy undertones.  

Each tin contains 75g of tea.
