The Uji Hojicha Tea Story

Our Hojicha is from a renowned 16th centiry family-run gardens in Uji, Kyoto, the historic heartland of Japanese tea. This hojicha is carefully roasted on-site to guarantee peak freshness and authentic character. The roasting transforms green tea leaves into a rich, amber brew — warm, nutty, impossibly comforting. Sustainably managed and committed to organic principles, these small farms prioritize traditional methods, handpicked harvests, and minimal intervention. Pure Japanese craftsmanship in every sip.
