//Meibutsu Tongu Hōjicha

A deep, comforting dark roast hojicha loose leaf tea, roasted with care in Tsuchiyama.

Our dark roast hojicha loose leaf is a bold yet soothing expression of hojicha tradition. It’s made from ichibancha leaves, the prized first harvest of spring, grown on a local farm in the historic Tsuchiyama area of Shiga Prefecture. The leaves are slowly roasted at low heat until they darken, which develops a rich, full-bodied character. Choose it if you like a stronger, more roasted cup.

Warming, grounding and versatile.

From the first sip, No.5 Meibutsu Tongu Hōjicha fills the mouth with a deep roasted aroma, followed by a smooth, lingering flavour that’s warming and grounding, ideal for relaxing. It’s best enjoyed hot on its own and it also makes a comforting hojicha latte: simply brew it with hot milk instead of water for roasted depth and natural sweetness.

I thoroughly enjoyed patiently preparing and savoring this these past few sunny breezy afternoons…cupping a giant chocolate colored tea cup with both hands, my face buried in the gorgeous aroma of this houjicha.

Thank you.

To begin with, getting hojicha is Australia is difficult. Getting top grade, impeccably made hojicha is impossible. This tea is the real deal and there is only one word for it, perfect. This tea is perfect in every way. Add to this the superb and speedy service (plus the great packaging and the tea tins themselves) and you have the best hojicha shop in the Southern Hemisphere.
If you thought hojicha wasn't for you, you need to taste this tea, it will permanently change for mind.
Well done Hojicha House. This level of excellence is only available in some places in Japan. Now, it is in Australia too.
