The story of this tea

A Gentle Roast from Yasu

Our hōjicha comes from Yasu in Japan’s Shiga Prefecture, where roasted tea has long been part of everyday life.

Yasu uses green tea stems from the first harvest of the season, gently roasting them before milling them into a fine powder. The light roast brings a delicate toasted character while keeping the tea fragrant and light-bodied.

There is something lovely about the simplicity of hōjicha. A little powder, warm water and a moment to whisk it together. Enjoy it just as it is, or add milk for a comforting cup that fits easily into your daily routine.
