STILL HERE - HojIcha - Pre-order

Crafted by master grower Takeshi Suzuki in the high-elevation mountain fields of Shizuoka, this roasted green tea (hojicha) relies on high-temperature roasting to transform the leaves into dark, aromatic sprigs. The intense heat naturally lowers caffeine and eliminates astringency by releasing fragrant pyrazine compounds, creating an exceptionally forgiving brew. It steeps into a deep amber infusion with warm notes of toasted grains, cocoa, and roasted hazelnut, finishing with a soothing, natural sweetness and virtually zero bitterness. In Japan, Mr. Suzuki’s hojicha is cherished as a versatile, comforting tea, perfect for evening relaxation or served alongside meals as a warming digestif.
