This is a smooth and sweet Hojicha from Wazuka. While most Japanese green teas have a nice grassy or vegetal flavor, Hojicha takes on a vastly different flavor profile. This roasted tea has notes of chocolate, caramel or coffee. This particular Hojicha is unique for its more mild and sweet flavor. You may notice a nice mouthwatering effect on the tongue as well as a pleasant coffee aftertaste.
This tea comes to us from Mr. Noike, a small farmer south of Kyoto in a town called Wazuka. This area is becoming a hub for green tea production, particularly matcha.
