[Kagoshima Hōjicha | ほうじ茶 | Japan]

One of our favorite everyday teas - Japan's humble yet strong, charcoal-roasted green. Carries a comforting depth of smoked, caramelized forest sweetness to complement its deep aroma.

Perfect for any time of day, hojicha's flavorful inclusion of tea stems alongside its traditional charcoal-roast avoids much caffeine - even for a green tea!

-Very low caffeine
-Quick & simple to brew
-Easy-drinking, sweet & fragrant
-Fresh, early harvest from volcanic soils
-Smoky profile unique to Japanese roasted green teas
-Darker than typical, Kagoshima-style charcoal roast for a mature edge
-Plays well with any sweet-salty treats (e.g. Onigiri, American BBQ, Japanese yakitori, crème brûlée, kettle corn, maple pancakes)

Ft. @onigiri_em Fresh made Ikura Yuzu and Salmon Belly Onigiri
