SUGIMOTO TEA Japanese Hojicha Roasted Green Tea for Tea Lovers - 0.5 lb (227 g) Made in Shizuoka Japan

Our Hojicha is crafted from unoxidized green tea stems, called Kukicha, which undergo a meticulous high-temperature roasting process that transforms them into a rich, toasty brown color. These green tea stems are sourced from the Kakegawa region in Shizuoka, a region esteemed for its sustainable agricultural practices that have earned recognition as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System by the United Nations.

Sugimoto’s Favorite Hojicha boasts a delightful natural sweetness accompanied by a warm, roasted aroma, making it an ideal low-caffeine treat for your evenings. It's perfectly suited for multiple steeping sessions, allowing you to savor its flavors over time.

Steeping Instructions: For an optimal experience, we recommend brewing Hojicha using a traditional Japanese teapot known as a kyusu, which features a wide interior mesh for better infusion. To prepare, use 1 tablespoon (approximately 3 grams) of Hojicha in 10 ounces of hot water at or below 200°F (93°C), and steep for 1 to 2 minutes.
