Uji Hojicha (For Hojicha Latte)

Arita Sansuien was founded in 1949 in Uji, Kyoto by Ippei Arita. In the 75 years since, they have formed deep relationships with the best tea farmers in their region. Their commitment to quality offers some reasons as to why their hojicha is so outstanding, but nothing will fully explain why this tea is so pleasurable to drink.

While being whisked this hojicha looks very dark, like cocoa. Even when mixed with milk it maintains a rich pigment. Given its appearance, its taste is softer and smoother than we would expect. It has an edgeless mouthfeel and a sweet, woody finish that lingers long after you swallow.

Uji Hojicha is the darker, deeper, and richer counterpart to Yame Hojicha, and a very comforting drink, especially during the colder months.
