Hojicha

A deeply comforting, stone-milled tonic with all the rustic charm of an old autumn hearth and none of the grassy pretense of common green teas.

​Many folks approach green tea as if it were a strict, unforgiving medicine—full of sharp, grassy arguments that leave you feeling more chastised than comforted. This Hojicha powder is a magnificent rebellion against that whole austere philosophy.

​It is an upstanding, roasted green tea powder crafted from carefully selected tea leaves and stems. Rather than being left in their raw, prickly state, these elements are subjected to a gentle fire that toasts away any lingering bitterness, before being stone-milled into an extraordinarily fine powder.

​When introduced to warm water, it brews into a remarkably smooth cup that handles your palate with the finest country manners. It greets your senses with deep, comforting notes of toasted cereal, perfectly balanced by a savory, grounded hint of umami. It is an honest, unpretentious beverage meant for the traveler who requires a steady hand, a warm stomach, and a perfectly tranquil disposition to meet the day's obligations.
