Organic Hojicha Premium Japanese Roasted Green Tea 100g | from Shizuoka Prefecture [Pesticide-Free & Fertilizer-Free]

Rare hojicha with the power of nature as it is

This naturally grown hojicha is full of nature's power and vitality, grown without pesticides or fertilizers in a tea farm with a spectacular view of Mt. The leaves of this hojicha tea are grown in a tea farm that has been free of pesticides, fertilizers, synthetic chemicals, and microorganisms for more than 15 years. Organically grown tea leaves in Japan account for only 2-3% of the nation's total production, and naturally grown tea leaves account for less than 1% of the 2-3% of organically grown tea. Therefore, naturally grown hojicha produced domestically is very rare because it is rarely distributed. The tea leaves are grown while taking advantage of nature's blessings, enriching the soil, and preserving the balance of the ecosystem, thus connecting people with nature and nature with an emphasis on the coexistence of people and nature.

The original taste of "hojicha" with natural flavor and richness

This hojicha has a taste that is rich in aroma and natural "tea" flavor. You will be surprised when you take a sip of this hojicha, which has no bitterness at all and has a sweet taste. I have never been so impressed with a sip of hojicha. There is no astringency, bitterness, or bitterness, and no excessive umami. How sweet it is, and you can feel it enter your body easily. Because no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used, it has no bitterness and is very refreshing to drink, just like barley tea. Hojicha has an image of being bitter and astringent. If you are used to ordinary tea, some people may feel that it lacks richness. In fact, in most cases, this "richness" is an artificial flavor added by sprinkling amino acids. The reason why people think the artificial taste is better is because they do not know the natural taste of hojicha. Is it too much to say that "our taste buds have been mis-educated?" Pesticide- and fertilizer-free hojicha is richer in sugar content, antioxidant power, and vitamin C than conventionally farmed hojicha. On the other hand, it is also low in nitrate ions, which are said to be the cause of bitterness and bitterness and a source of carcinogens.

Recommended way to drink

It has a natural flavor that goes well with cakes and cookies as well as Japanese sweets. The key is to use 100-degree water that has been freshly pumped and brought to a bobbing boil. Pour in the hot water to warm the teapot and cup and discard that water. One teaspoon of tea, 150 ml of hot water, let it steep for three minutes, and voila! Pouring to the last drop makes for a delicious result. Because hojicha is made by roasting tea leaves, it is aromatic and has a healing effect. When you want to take a break or when you are tired, drinking this tea will relax you with its refreshing taste and fresh aroma. It also contains less caffeine than other teas, so it is gentle on the stomach and is recommended when you are not feeling well. On hot days, it is best to brew it slowly with water to bring out its sweetness.
