KOU-UN literally means “cloud of fragrance”, and figuratively “full flower looking like clouds”. It becomes clear that fragrance plays an important role in Houjicha, roasted tea. A crucial peculiarity of KOU-UN; however, is that it is made from the shaded tea (Kabusecha) of the first harvest, which makes the tea rare treat.
