Obara Harukaen Premium Roasted Green Tea (Hojicha) 200g | Established in 1875, Long-standing Tea Merchant, Artisan Direct-Fire Roasted, Made with First-Flush Tea Leaves, Rich Aroma with Deep Sweetness, Low Caffeine, Gift, Present, Japanese Tea

This "Premium Hojicha (200g)" is our highest-grade roasted green tea, luxuriously crafted from carefully selected first-flush tea leaves (high-quality early harvest tea from the new tea season) by Obara Harukaen, a long-established tea merchant founded in 1875, and slowly roasted to aromatic perfection using a traditional direct-fire method.

Using the skills of traditional tea masters, we meticulously roast the finest first-flush tea leaves from renowned regions such as Shizuoka and Fukuoka. We have maximized the rich, toasted aroma that fills the room—a hallmark of premium Hojicha—along with the robust umami derived from Sencha and a clear, elegant sweetness.

Through careful direct-fire roasting, bitterness and astringency are suppressed to the absolute limit, and caffeine levels are reduced, making it a safe and gentle choice for everyone from children to the elderly. When brewed in your favorite teapot, it releases a sublime, soul-soothing roasted fragrance accompanied by a beautiful, clear amber liquor.

It can be enjoyed hot, or cold-brewed for a delicious experience that highlights its exquisite sweetness and nuttiness, making it perfect for any season. The 200g pack provides plenty for daily use, whether during family meals, tea time, winding down before bed, or for a refreshing break at the office.

The elegant packaging (200g) protects the delicate quality of the tea from light and moisture, preserving its freshly roasted aroma and flavor for longer. It makes a wonderful gift for tea lovers, a thoughtful souvenir, or a special treat for your own home.
