This hojicha is made from leaves traditionally used to produce matcha (tencha). Grown under shade to enhance sweetness and umami, the leaves are steamed, dried, and gently roasted instead of ground, resulting in a hojicha with virtually no bitterness. Its mellow depth evokes notes of brown sugar syrup and cacao, offering a refined cup suited to both meals and quiet moments of rest. These convenient tea bags let you enjoy a refined cup of tea wherever life takes you.
