Tenbone Hojicha | Kyoto Uji
This exceptional hojicha is crafted by carefully roasting the stems of premium hand-picked tencha, grown in the renowned tea fields of Uji. This unique process not only creates the signature roasted aroma of hojicha but also preserves the rich umami and natural sweetness of tencha – the precious tea leaf traditionally reserved for matcha production. The result is a rare and distinguished hojicha that perfectly balances both flavor profiles.
Experience this unique hojicha, one of a kind in our collection. It's equally outstanding served hot or as a refreshing iced tea.
About Tencha:
Tencha is the prized tea leaf essential for crafting matcha. Following methods similar to gyokuro cultivation, the tea plants are carefully shaded from direct sunlight for approximately 20 days before harvest. This traditional shading technique reduces catechins while enhancing the production of umami-rich theanine. After careful harvesting, the leaves undergo steaming and drying without rolling, yielding the distinctive tencha leaves.
