Yame Hojicha (For Hojicha Latte)

八女ほうじ茶

Harvest
Spring 2025

Origin
Yame, Fukuoka 

It makes one of the most delicious hojicha lattes we have tasted. It is silky smooth, and has an amazing, very distinct, aftertaste.

The finely ground tea powder appears very light in colour, but by no means pales in its flavour. Its bright, fresh notes remind us a bit of Kaga Bocha (our beloved Japanese roasted tea), giving this drink a wonderful, floral complexity. The whisked hojicha turns a very compelling caramel colour with milk, and has a very smooth, integrated mouthfee. Its unique, lingering aftertaste floats upwards, into our head, extending our enjoyment of it. 

This is a very delicious and interesting alternative to our dark roasted Uji Hojicha, and a tea that writes its place of origin on our palates. We think it will inspire you for many reasons, and is an excellent, refreshing drink for the summer months.

The 100g Bag is our most enjoyed size — about a month of daily hojicha lattes, and 39% more per dollar compared to the 50g Tin.
