Premium hojicha powder with notes of earthy, roasted nut, and lingering mild sweetness.

Also known as Kuki Hojicha, it is made by roasting the stems of tencha leaves — the same high-quality leaves that are handpicked for matcha. This type of hojicha has richer aroma than normal Hojicha, while having very little caffeine content, ideal for enjoying even in the evening.

As practitioners of chadō (Japanese tea ceremony), we have handpicked the finest tea for our collection — those that truly honor the spirit of an unforgettable tea ceremony.

About this hojicha

This hojicha powder is made from first-flush tencha leaves grown in Izumo. Izumo, in Shimane prefecture, receives abundant sunshine that produces high quality tea leaves, but only grows limited quantity of tea leaves each year. The stem from the same tea leaves used for premium matcha are carefully handpicked and gently roasted over high heat, bringing out a toasty aroma and mellow flavor.

Benefits of hojicha

Naturally low in caffeine, hojicha is a gentle choice for evenings or moments of wind-down, while still packed with antioxidants like other green teas. Hojicha can support digestion and relaxation, making it an ideal tea for mindful rituals or quiet interludes throughout the day.

Handpicked for the ritual.
Fresh from the source.

Taste that speaks for itself

We have selected only the most fragrant and balanced hojicha — made from roasting first-harvest tencha. Expect warm, nutty notes with a soft sweetness. Smooth and grounding, it’s a comforting cup for any time of day.

Fresh from the source

All our tea is shipped directly from Kyoto. We work with local producers to ensure each batch is freshly ground, and we promptly ship from Kyoto to your doorstep so you can experience your tea at its freshest.

Sustainable packaging

While high-end tea is often packed in tins, we chose instead a fully light-blocking, resealable pouch: equally protective, but lighter on the planet. Our hand-drawn design evokes the spirit of the tea's origin in Japan.
