Product Description

Storage

This particular Hojicha is made from first harvest tea, unlike ordinary Hojicha which typically uses later harvests. Hojicha is simply a roasted Japanese green tea, which is the reason the color is changed to reddish brown. It is made by high-temperature roasting of tea leaves’ twigs and stems, so it has low caffeine content and is much less astringent. Hojicha is a mild, pleasant tea that is commonly enjoyed after meals, and it is perfect during the evening as it is low in caffeine. It can also be used in culinary creations to add a toasty, tea-infused flavor.

Yabukita tea cultivar brings a distinctive character to Hojicha powder when used as its base. Known for its balanced umami, mild sweetness, and bright aroma in green tea, Yabukita transforms uniquely under high-heat roasting. In Hojicha powder, it yields a smooth, nutty flavor with subtle hints of cocoa and roasted grain, while retaining a clean finish that makes it ideal for both drinking and culinary use. Its naturally balanced profile allows the toasty notes of Hojicha to shine without excessive bitterness, resulting in a well-rounded, aromatic powder that stands out among other cultivars.
