    from the heart of the Japanese tea culture

    Our Hojicha traces its roots to the traditional tea fields of Kyoto, where the first flush stems and Bancha leaves are carefully harvested without the use of pesticides. This unique blend is crafted following time-honored techniques that date back to Japan’s Edo period.

    IN UJI, KYOTO, THE CRADLE OF JAPANESE TEA CULTURE, TEA MASTER KOJI KAGATA USES a meticulous process, the stems and leaves are sand roasted, a method passed down through generations of artisans.

    Once roasted, the stems release a rich, nutty aroma that invites warmth and comfort. The result is a clear, amber brew that exudes notes of caramel and toasted bread, offering a distinct flavor that enhances any meal.
    KAGATA-SAN, A SECOND-GENERATION TEA MASTER WITH OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WAS TAUGHT THE WAY OF TEA BY HIS FATHER. NOW, HE IS PASSING DOWN THIS KNOWLEDGE TO HIS SON, NAOKI KAGATA, ENSURING THAT THE LEGACY OF CRAFTING EXCEPTIONAL MATCHA CONTINUES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
