Superior Miyazaki Hojicha – Luxury Pan-Fired Roasted Green TeaSuperior Miyazaki Hojicha is an excellent Japanese roasted tea from Gokase Town in Miyazaki Prefecture. It's made from a selection of ichibancha (first-flush) stems and leaves, lightly roasted using the traditional pan-fired method to create a hojicha of exceptionally fine quality, with an outstanding aroma and the smoothest, sweet-toasted flavor. Its fine aromatics come from a combination of pan-firing and roasting the leaves — a process that produces an aroma quite different from hojicha made from steamed leaves. We find this results in a truly superior cup: more refreshing, more lively and a little flowery, without any excessive smokiness or heavy roast. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItOn the palate, this tea is a complete purist's delight — as smooth as you can imagine, with a bouquet of sweetly roasted flavors and a hint of green. Roasting naturally lowers its caffeine, making it a wonderful choice for afternoons, evenings and after meals.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it plain after dinner or in the evening as a soothing, toasty cup. It also makes a delicious hojicha latte with steamed milk and a touch of honey, and it's refreshing served iced in summer. Pair it with Japanese sweets, grilled dishes and chocolate desserts. Smooth, sweet and beautifully refined, Superior Miyazaki Hojicha is hojicha at its very best. |

A little steeping tipStart at 1.5 min and taste — go up to 2 min for a fuller flavour. For a stronger cup, add a little more tea rather than steeping longer.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
