Toka’s unique roasted tea is a mix of the thick stems of tea plants harvested in spring before flowering and in autumn after the summer harvest has ended. Roasted over an open flame, the scent of flowers lingers underneath the smoky fragrance. This versatile tea is caffeine free, full of vitamins and potassium, delicious cold or hot, and is well suited to enjoy after meals.
