A top grade sencha green tea that has been gently roasted to create the most deliciously complex Hojicha we have ever tasted.
From the renowned 200-year-old Moriuchi tea garden, this is a truly exceptional Hojicha (also know as Houjicha). Incredibly rich and robust, with a full spectrum of flavour from the finest spring sencha, expertly roasted by a great tea master.
That smoky sweetness lingers in the cup long after I've finished it, and the gentle roast gives it a smoothness that's perfect for late afternoons. I've already reordered a bigger bag, this is my new regular.
The deep roast hits you right away, but it’s surprisingly smooth on the sip—no bitterness at all. I’ve been brewing it in the afternoon instead of coffee, and the calm, toasty warmth is exactly what I needed.
The gentle roast on this hojicha gives it this deep, toasty sweetness that I didn't expect from a green tea. It's incredibly smooth with zero bitterness, even when I accidentally let it steep a bit too long. I've already gone through half the bag in just a week.
