Oigawa Tea Garden – Makanai Hojicha Loose Leaf Tea 300 g
Savor the rich, comforting aroma of Oigawa Tea Garden Makanai Hojicha, a traditional roasted Japanese green tea crafted in the tea fields of Makinohara, Shizuoka Prefecture — one of Japan’s most renowned tea regions. This premium hojicha is made from autumn-harvested bancha leaves and roasted over a strong fire to draw out deep, toasty notes with a hint of natural sweetness.
Unlike standard green teas, hojicha is low in caffeine and gentle on the stomach, making it suitable for any time of day — even in the evening. The result is a beautifully fragrant tea with a smooth, mellow flavor and a refreshing aftertaste that embodies Japanese simplicity and warmth. Perfect for pairing with wagashi (Japanese sweets) or as a calming moment after meals.
