Hojicha (100g)

This hojicha is made from leaves and stems of the Yabukita (やぶきた) tea cultivar by the newest generation of the Sato family, who have been farming organically for over 50 years in Shizuoka. Unlike our sencha and gyokuro, this hojicha is harvested in the fall instead of the spring, and is slow-roasted instead of steamed to bring out a warm, comforting, and smooth flavor.

Your favorite biggest, heaviest, warmest blanket.

100g of tea is good for 75+ mug or kyusu servings (4g/session, steeped 3+ times).

🌱 This tea is grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides by the third generation of the Sato family to grow organically on their farm in Shizuoka. Spent leaves are *gold* for your compost pile.
♻️ Our steel tea tins are crafted with care in Kyoto, Japan. Please reuse and recycle!
💧 3% of every tea purchase supports clean water projects, because without clean water there is no tea.
