Cold Brew Drip Tea - Houjicha
The Green Glass Brew Tea range of drip teas allows you to prepare an instant refreshing cup of tea wherever you are. The tea is packed in a paper origami-style drip tea sachet, which gets placed over a cup or container and water poured over.
How to prepare:
- Open the outside sachet and remove the origami tea bag.
- Tear it open at the top, pull the ears and hook it over a cup or container.
- Pour 200ml of cold water directly into the tea bag and let it drip until all water has passed through.
- Discard or compost the tea bag and enjoy your roasted green tea!

Sencha is the most popular drinking tea in Japan and is drunk by millions of people on a daily basis. It is made from the Camellia sinensis plant and steamed to retain freshness and colour. Sencha has many regional variations and come in different formats - from loose leaf to tea bag to drip tea.
Houjicha is roasted green tea, where the steamed tea leaves undergo a light roasting to bring out a subtle nutty and smoky aroma and flavour to the tea. It has the benefit of being low in caffeine, so the tea can be enjoyed any time of the day.
