## Description

Made using unoxidized green tea stems known as Kukicha, we use a high-temperature roasting process to turn this tea a rich toasty brown. Our green tea stems are harvested from the Kakegawa region of Shizuoka, where they are grown in a sustainable way that has been recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System by the UN. Sugimoto’s Favorite Hojicha has a natural sweetness and a body-warming, roasted aroma, making this is a lovely, very low-caffeine evening treat that can be steeped multiple times. Steeping Instructions:For best results, brew using a traditional Japanese teapot (kyusu) with a wide belt style inner mesh. Use 1 Tablespoon (3 grams) of Hojicha in 10 Ounces of hot water (200 F or below) and steep for 1 - 2 minutes.

Review: Delicate but unforgettably pleasing flavor in an extremely low caffeine tea, even safe before bed. The Sujimoto brand is supreme.
Review: Previously I tried SA Japanese Green Tea Sencha in both loose leaf and tea bags - both of those products were excellent!! I stumbled upon this Hoji Cha loose leaf as a special Add On price 1 day and ordered it without reserve. Knowing that I thought the other SA Japanese Green Tea products were excellent, I had high expectations for this product. I was not disappointed! This is a fantastic loose leaf roasted green tea, great tea. If you want to try to some high quality Japanese tea, I recommend products from SA Japanese Green Tea company!
