The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
\n
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their familyâs legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).Â
The women of Kiroku Tea Garden began experimenting with a unique roasting of their tencha tea leaves a few years ago (in cooperation with their roasting partner in Wazuka Village), and created this unique roastâa deep, double-roasting of their single cultivar okumidori spring tencha leaves that creates a sweetness in the tea when steeped.
\n
Tencha is the green tea leaf used to make matcha, and okumidori cultivar spring tencha is highly sought after for matcha. Most farmers would think it a waste to roast these leaves, but in the pursuit of innovation in tea, the Hori family sets aside a small amount each year for creating this sweet roast.

Roasted green tea, or Houjicha (or hojicha ほうじ茶 / 焙じ茶), has a smooth, slightly smoky flavor that is simultaneously light and sweet, hojicha has none of the bitterness of traditional green teas. And like decaf coffee, the roasting process removes much of the caffeine from the leaves making it the perfect after dinner / before bed drink.
\n
Obubu offers many different types of hojicha using various roasting methods and base leaves.
\n
Note: Package design may change from time to time

Unique to the city of Kyoto from which it gets name, Kyobancha is harvested from tea leaves and twigs that have matured over the winter months and then roasted producing a very woodsy flavor.
\n
Often called 'bancha for babies' (akachan bancha 赤ちゃん番茶) because it has almost no caffeine, it is also called 'spring bancha' (haru bancha 春番茶) because it is harvested in March from winter matured leaves. Rarely offered outside of Japan, it is even quite rare to find it in supermarkets in Japan as well.
\n
Shinichi Kihara's Kyobancha gives off a smoky aroma, but surprises you with a flavor that is both smoky as well as sweet. (See our steeping notes.)
\n
Please note that because the leaves are unrolled, they are quite bulky, resulting in a higher shipping price than 200g of other tea. This price is built into the product price rather than the shipping fee. If buying in amounts larger than what is listed, please contact us for more accurate pricing.

Tea Stories
\n
One of the Yunomi staff was joking about how the kyobancha tea leaves look like dried leaves you might find in your garden, right before she (and she shall remain anonymous) took a sip and exclaimed, 'Ah! Oishii! (Delicious!)' -- You can't judge a book by its cover...

\nHarvest: March (of leaves that have grown over the winter). Note that new harvests are steamed and dried, then kept in storage. The “freshness” is determined by the freshness of the roast, and the tea is roasted when we order from Kihara-san.
Stems of high grade tea is called karigane 雁音. By roasting these stems in an iron pot, it becomes Karigane Houjicha. This particular product uses gyokuro tea stems from Uji, Kyoto.
\n
How is this karigane houjicha different from regular houjicha? The answer is in the strength of fire. Usually, houjicha is roasted over an extremely low heat. In this way, the tea will not be burnt but roasted to the core of the teas. However, the flavor of the tea is lost through this process, leaving behind only the aroma.
\n
This karigane houjicha is roasted in an iron pot over strong heat. Only the surface of the stems are roasted, retaining the flavor of the tea itself, because the inner part of the stem is not roasted. Both the strong aroma and taste of tea can be enjoyed.
\n
The water color is a bit cloudy compared to regular houjicha with clear water color, but this cloudy water color is the flavor of tea.
\n
Today, the iron pot roasting is very rare and so only those tea shops that are particular about houjicha come visit the factory. Yamane-en's Shiobara-san wanted to experience this iron pot roasting so visited this factory in Uji, Kyoto to learn the technique!!
\n
WHAT IS 'SUGABOW'?? That was a question we had for Shiobara-san. It's a little pun...one of the most famous type of kukicha in Japan is Kagabou from Ishikawa Prefecture. Since, Yamane-en is based in Sugamo, Tokyo, Kagabou becomes 'Sugabow'... v(^_^;)

Stems of high grade tea is called karigane 雁音. By roasting these stems in an iron pot, it becomes Karigane Houjicha. This particular product uses gyokuro tea stems from Uji, Kyoto.
\n
How is this karigane houjicha different from regular houjicha? The answer is in the strength of fire. Usually, houjicha is roasted over an extremely low heat. In this way, the tea will not be burnt but roasted to the core of the teas. However, the flavor of the tea is lost through this process, leaving behind only the aroma.
\n
This karigane houjicha is roasted in an iron pot over strong heat. Only the surface of the stems are roasted, retaining the flavor of the tea itself, because the inner part of the stem is not roasted. Both the strong aroma and taste of tea can be enjoyed.
\n
The water color is a bit cloudy compared to regular houjicha with clear water color, but this cloudy water color is the flavor of tea.
\n
Today, the iron pot roasting is very rare and so only those tea shops that are particular about houjicha come visit the factory. Yamane-en's Shiobara-san wanted to experience this iron pot roasting so visited this factory in Uji, Kyoto to learn the technique!!
\n
WHAT IS 'SUGABOW'?? That was a question we had for Shiobara-san. It's a little pun...one of the most famous type of kukicha in Japan is Kagabou from Ishikawa Prefecture. Since, Yamane-en is based in Sugamo, Tokyo, Kagabou becomes 'Sugabow'... v(^_^;)

Houjicha Amber as the name says is exquisite in color, aromatic in fragrance and powerful in flavor. Its color is that of the stone, amber, that is often used for both jewelry and to perfumery.
\n
To produce Houjcha Amber, Obubu uses tea leaves of Sencha of the Summer Sun and roast them to create a luxury type of Houjicha. Sencha of the Summer Sun is characterised for its strong bitter taste because it uses tea leaves that are small and fine. Its rich and robust flavor makes it an ideal choice for after heavy or oily meals.

About the Tea Farmer \n
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

About the Tea Farmer \n
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.
Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and unusual teas. This hojicha is indeed a distinct and standout hojicha, roasted from cedar wood from the famous Yakushima Island (Kagoshima Prefecture). The smokey flavor and scent will transport you into the earthiness of the cedar forests of Yakushima. While quite surprising and expressive in comparison to typical hojichas, this tea is not overpowering. A perfect hojicha to enjoy in the winter time. What is more, it can also be enjoyed cold-brewed in the hot summer days!
\n
If you are one who likes to explore out of the box, this hojicha may be for you! In fact, this is an award-winning hojicha which received the gold prize in the Japan Tea Festival in the year 2018 (Concours de Thé Japonais - C’est bon le Japon 2018). Matsumoto-san has been very creative with his black teas, too, so make sure to check out all of his innovative offerings (e.g., Yuzu Wood Smoked Black Tea, Sakura Wood Black Tea).
\n
Please note that all aspects of the production at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden adhere to the environmental conservation cultivation method world renown as GIAHS (i.e., Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System).

Hojicha is usually made from large summer or autumn harvested bancha leaves. Obubu Tea Farms' premium Hojicha Gold is made from more delicate spring harvested Sencha leaves that have been aged, creating a richer flavor.
Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantations, is a Japanese tea brand owned and operated by tea farmers in the town of Wazuka, Kyoto. Started by Akihiro Kita and Yasuharu Matsumoto in 2004, the company began as an agricultural social venture. Akky and Matsu's aim was and still is, to teach tea lovers both in Japan and overseas about the value of tea farming, and to contribute to society through tea.

Perhaps you are familiar with a hojicha but exactly is a kuki hojicha? Akukicha (“twig tea”), or stem tea, is made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha. So, this tea from Yokota Tea Garden is a roasted stem tea, and specifically with stems/stalks coming from their summer harvest in Sayama, Saitama prefecture. Lightly smoky and earthy in flavor, and low in caffeine due to the summer harvest and roasting process. Many of our customers have also commented on the gentle sweetness and nuttiness of this kuki hojicha so if you prefer your hojichas to have a subtle sweetness, this one may be for you!

\n\n
Unique to the city of Kyoto from which it gets name, Kyobancha is harvested from tea leaves and twigs that have matured over the winter months and then roasted producing a very woodsy flavor. As bancha, it is unrolled, so we sell it in larger 200 gram bags.
\n
Often called 'bancha for babies' (akachan bancha 赤ちゃん番茶) because it has almost no caffeine, it is also called 'spring bancha' (haru bancha 春番茶) because it is harvested in March from winter matured leaves. Rarely offered outside of Japan, it is even quite rare to find it in supermarkets in Japan as well.
\n
Akky's Kyobancha has resulted in a tea that produces a light, refreshing, and easy-to-drink taste--a healthy alternative to sugary drinks. We recommend steeping it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or steeping it with cold water for 2-3 hours for iced tea.
\n

\nCultivation: Leaves and stems that have matured over the winter, cut to prepare the field for the spring harvest
\n
\nProduction notes: Steamed and dried without rolling, then roasted

Houjicha is made by roasting ryokucha (green tea) over strong heat over a short period of time burning the leaves to a degree and imparting the roasted flavor. Because the ambient environment (temperature and humidity) affects the original green tea leaves depending on the leaf size and shape, the amount of stems still mixed into the leaves, there is a high level of skill involved with roasting the leaf evenly.
\n
this hojicha utilizes summer harvested leaf that has grown larger than spring sencha. This results in a balanced earthy flavor whereas spring sencha would have stronger notes of caramel and autumn harvested leaf grown even larger would taste even more earthy

Houjicha is made by roasting ryokucha (green tea) over strong heat over a short period of time burning the leaves to a degree and imparting the roasted flavor. Because the ambient environment (temperature and humidity) affects the original green tea leaves depending on the leaf size and shape, the amount of stems still mixed into the leaves, there is a high level of skill involved with roasting the leaf evenly.
\n
this hojicha utilizes summer harvested leaf that has grown larger than spring sencha. This results in a balanced earthy flavor whereas spring sencha would have stronger notes of caramel and autumn harvested leaf grown even larger would taste even more earthy

Roasted delicately by tea farmer Mataki Tatefumi until just before the leaves begin to turn brown, this Green Hojicha or Aohojicha 青ほうじ茶 can be considered a very light roast or a very strong green roasting.
\n
Mataki Tatefumi practices the Chagusaba agricultural method for growing tea leaves in which grass (primarily suzuki) grown around the fields are cut, dried, and laid between the tea hedges to prevent weed growth and to fertilize the soil.
The sweet and simultaneously toasty aroma is unique. Not green tea, but not quite the aroma of hojicha either. The flavor is also a combination of the toastiness of hojicha, with sweet vegetal-ness and a slightly astringent aftertaste.
Mataki Takefumi, 3rd generation tea farmer and CEO of Sueyoshi Tea Atelier, believes tea brings forth connections. With this philosophy in mind, they strive to deliver their delicately and finely grown teas to as many people as possible. They also aspire to promote a meaningful way of living that will extend beyond one’s cup of tea.
\n
The Sueyoshi farm and factory is located in the Soo district (pronounced “Soh-oh”) in Kagoshima Prefecture. A stunning volcanic mountain range rich with biodiversity, the region is on the southern end of the beautiful Kirishima Mountain Range. Mataki-san takes pride in selecting the highest quality tea leaves (harvested once a year), leaves that have been grown with time and deep care.
\n
He is also proactive in preserving the biodiveristy of the region thru the practice of Chagusaba Agriculture from Shizuoka Prefecture, recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS) in 2013 by UNESCO.

Hiroki Matsumoto, the young farmer at Kaneroku Matsumoto Tea Garden is always challenging himself to create unique and extraordinary teas. This hojicha is indeed a distinct and fascinating hojicha, roasted from whisky oak barrel wood. While the smokiness may be quite surprising and expressive in comparison to typical hojichas, this tea is not overpowering. A perfect hojicha to enjoy in the winter time. What is more, it can also be enjoyed cold-brewed in the hot summer days!
\n
If you are one who likes to explore out of the box, this hojicha may be for you! Matsumoto-san's innovative teas have received prizes in the Japan Tea Festival in the year 2018 (Concours de Thé Japonais - C’est bon le Japon 2018) and he is also the Silver Medal Winner of the 2014 International Tea Tasting Competition.

Perhaps you are familiar with matcha powder but how is hojicha powder used in Japan? Like matcha powder, you often see it in ice cream, pudding, lattes, and baked goods such as cookies, cakes, donuts, etc... yes, there is room for creativity! If you would like inspiration, here is a recipe to bake hojicha roll cake. Using Zenkouen Tea Garden's hojicha powder will add yumminess to your cake!
\n
Hojicha powder can also serve as an easy way to make hojicha (roasted green tea) quickly (and drink 100% of the tea).
\n
Steeping recommendation
\n
\n
A little scoop is attached to each bag. Use the spoon to scoop 1 heaping of powder (about half a gram) for every 100-150 ml of hot water.
\n
For cold steeping, use 1 teaspoon per liter of water.
\n
We also recommend that you use a small amount of water and mix with the powder into paste first to get rid of clumps.

\nNote: Grown without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

Perhaps you are familiar with matcha powder but how is hojicha powder used in Japan? Like matcha powder, you often see it in ice cream, pudding, lattes, and baked goods such as cookies, cakes, donuts, etc... yes, there is room for creativity! If you would like inspiration, here is a recipe to bake hojicha roll cake. Using Zenkouen Tea Garden's hojicha powder will add yumminess to your cake!
\n
Hojicha powder can also serve as an easy way to make hojicha (roasted green tea) quickly (and drink 100% of the tea).
\n
Steeping recommendation
\n
\n
A little scoop is attached to each bag. Use the spoon to scoop 1 heaping of powder (about half a gram) for every 100-150 ml of hot water.
\n
For cold steeping, use 1 teaspoon per liter of water.
\n
We also recommend that you use a small amount of water and mix with the powder into paste first to get rid of clumps.

\nIngredients: Roasted green tea
\n
\nNet weight: 100 grams
\n
\nNote: Grown without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

Please indulge in the mellow aftertaste filled with rich toasty sweetness. To bring out the roasty aroma, please steep at a higher temperature.

This superior hojicha from the NaturaliTea cooperative in Fujieda, Shizuoka was made by carefully roasting ichibancha (first harvest) leaves in May at a high temperature. Compared to hojicha that is made from summer or autumn leaves, this hojicha can be characterised as mild, with a rich and elegant flavor. The aroma when you open the bag is a delicious chocolate.
\n
Please indulge in the mellow aftertaste filled with rich toasty sweetness. To bring out the roasty aroma, please steep at a higher temperature.

Product Info
\n
\n
Name: Superior Hojicha
\n
Japanese name: 上ほうじ茶
\n
Ingredients: Green tea
\n
Harvest: May
\n
\nRegion: Fujieda, Shizuoka
\n
\nNotes: Grown pesticide free. Fertilized with organic compost.
\n
\nVendor: NaturaliTea
\n
\nVendor type: Cooperative managed by the Kinezuka family. Tea products are grown by the Kinezuka family and several other farms.
NaturaliTea is a private cooperative of farmers managed by the Kinezuka family, whose own tea fields produce over 20% of the cooperative's teas. Based in the hills of Fujieda, Shizuoka, the cooperative was established nearly 40 years ago by Toshiaki Kinezuka. Farmers in the cooperative develop techniques together to grow tea, rice, and vegetables without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
Winner of the Monde Selection Silver Award (2009 & 2012), this award-winning but humble Echigo Bocha is a pleasant combination of bocha (stem tea), hojicha and genmaicha. To process this tea, the stalks from the tea were aged in Seikoen's snow cooled warehouse (called a \"yukimuro\") and then roasted over low heat. The mixed in toasted brown rice is regional, from Echigo and Joetsu of Niigata prefecture. An original product from Seikoen, please enjoy the aroma of the roasted tea mixed with the sweetness from their Koshihikari cultivar brown rice. This tea will bring you a sense of warmness, perfect for the autumn and winter months. Seikoen has also received compliments on this tea that it pairs wonderfully well with high quality chocolates!
\n
\n
About Snow-aging
\n
Seikoen's snow cooled warehouse is like a big igloo which refrigerates products only with the cold air from the snow, without using any electricity (completely natural). The room is kept at 100% humidity and about 5 degrees Celsius for one entire year. While the mechanism needs more research, something about this unique aging process (perhaps due to the temperature which hovers just below zero in a state in which water is neither freezing nor liquid) causes the tea to increase multiple chemical components that make up the tea leaf's umami flavor. Specifically, an increase was measured from 632 mg/100g to 810.7 mg/100g of 15 amino acids according to their tests.

\nHistory: Akihiro “Akky” Kita (see image at left) is our president and lead farmer here at Obubu. His desire to make this tea available to the general public is the foundation of Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms. In college, Akky took up a part-time job as a farmhand in Wazuka, and fell in love with the tea of this region. He made the decision then to leave college and devote his time to mastering the art of tea farming. Recognizing the need for independent farmers like himself to spread the joy of drinking Japanese tea, he travels each year during the winter off-season to bring Japanese tea to people all over the world.

Produced using first flush spring leaves and the pan-fired (kamairi) method of processing, the leaves are rolled, dried in a greenhouse under the sunlight. The process is similar to Puer tea up to this point. It is then lightly roasted to finish the tea. A strong-roasted version is also available.
\n
This tea processing method is a folk tea called Kumano Bancha 熊野晩茶 in the Kumano region of Wakayama Prefecture, which Mitocha is attempting to preserve. It was used to make rice porridge to be eaten with pickled vegetables and dried foods, and drunk as an every day tea. It also ages well according to the Mitocha.
Cultivated without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers
\n
Region: Yamazoe Village, Nara

The nice aspect about hojicha is that you do not have to pay careful attention to the temperature of the boiling water, which allows anyone to enjoy it easily. As long as you steep it with boiling water, you will end up with a tasty cup of hojicha. Additionally, when you open the tea bag, when you go to steep the tea, when you go to drink your hojicha or afterwards, you feel an instant sense of relief and comfort. This may be due to the roasty and comforting aroma from the hojicha. To note, the imperial Shizuoka hojicha from Dobashien is a bit unique as it is made from the stems (i.e., kukicha/stem tea) of the highest quality spring tea leaves. Please enjoy this delicious and roasty hojicha with a special aroma.
In 1892, Dobashien's founder Tetsugoro Dobashi established a small tea shop in a quiet residential district on the outskirts of Tokyo. As the city expanded, the area known as Akasaka-Mitsuke became one of the city's elite districts with ryotei, luxury Japanese restaurants, hosting meetings between powerful politicians. At these ryotei, only the best tea leaves from Shizuoka and other parts of Japan are served.

Perhaps you have heard of bancha but what exactly is a sannen bancha? Taking spring bancha, first flush tea leaves harvested after they have grown large (late flushing spring leaves), Uejima-san processes them into dry leaf, then puts them into storage for at least 3 years. After pulling the leaves out of storage, they are then roasted. A tea that is considered to be friendly for all ages because; in comparison to sencha, it has less caffeine and tannins, which can be stimulating for some. A tea that can be enjoyed hot or cold, and don't forget to appreciate that it was sleeping (i.e., in storage) for 3 years!!
\n
* Generally, Japanese tea (i.e., sencha) is made from harvesting, steaming and processing the new buds of tea bushes. These types of teas are considered best when drunk fresh. However, sannenbancha is a little different in that it comes from bushes that have been uncut for three years or from stems and leaves that have matured for three years.

Roasted Tencha Stems, in Japanese: Tenbone Houjicha(てん骨ほうじ茶) is made from the branch stems of tencha (てん茶) while the leaf stems and veins are roasted into Obubu's Tsugumi Hojicha. Tencha are the unrolled tea leaves used to make matcha tea powder. Because you drink the entire leaf when you drink matcha, the leaves used for matcha tea powder need to be as sweet as possible. So when Tencha is created, Akky covers the tea plants for up to four weeks to reduce the amount of catechin (which creates bitterness) as much as possible.
\n
In the process of making matcha, the dried, unrolled tencha tea leaves are then separated into two groups, soft and tough parts. The tough parts are the stems and veins and they are called tenbone (tencha no hone, the bones of tencha).
\n
Akky has taken these bones of the tencha and lightly roasted them to produce a mild yet luxurious flavor. Enjoy the elegance of Tenbone Houjicha and all its sweetness and aroma!

What is meant by kuki hojicha? Akukicha (“twig tea”), or stem tea, made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha. This tea from Zenkouen is a roasted stem tea, and specifically with stems/stalks coming from their final bancha harvest. This tea has a very fragrant aroma and refreshing taste.
\n
Please note that roasting is performed by an outside professional, so this product is not included in the organic tea certification.

About the Tea Farmer
\n
Yoshimitsu Masuda spent the first part of his adult life working in a major farming cooperative where he learned firsthand about the danger of food additives and pesticides. Returning to the family tea farm in 1992 to learn tea making from his father and fellow tea farmers in Shimada, Shizuoka, he was deeply surprised at the amount of pesticides used in tea farming.
\n
Switching to organic farming was not an easy task; insects and disease plagued the first field he was given charge of, crop yield and leaf quality dropped, and he faced criticism from both family and other tea professionals. But he felt it was important to create tea that was safe for his own family to drink first. (Read more about Masuda-san's story here.)
\n
Today, built upon 25+ years of organic farming experience, Masuda-san produces tea that he is proud to call both safe and delicious and is passing his tea-making skills on to his children.

What is meant by kuki hojicha? Akukicha (“twig tea”), or stem tea, made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha. This tea from Zenkouen is a roasted stem tea, and specifically with stems/stalks coming from their final bancha harvest. This tea has a very fragrant aroma and refreshing taste.
\n
Please note that roasting is performed by an outside professional, so this product is not included in the organic tea certification.

From Yunomi Tea Merchant, Ian: This coconut spiced hojicha was inspired by my upbringing in Hawaii, combined with my love for Japan and Japanese tea. I like it boiled in almond milk for 2-3 minutes, making a delicious spiced chai latte.

\nProducer: Kanes Tea Factory, recipe designed to Ian’s specifications
Unrefined tencha (碾茶) tea leaves (the raw material used for matcha) is roasted to create a light-bodied roasted green tea. Tencha differs from other Japanese green teas in that it is shaded for about 4 weeks before harvest and is not rolled during processing; after steaming it is dried in a special tencha oven.
The Azuma family specializes in growing tencha, the leaves used for creating matcha, in addition to other types of green, black, and oolong teas. In the process of certifying tea fields as organic, they are shifting cultivation of their fields to pesticide free practices.
\n
Based in Wazuka, Kyoto, Japan, the family has also recently built their own matcha grinding factory becoming fully vertically integrated as a producer.

Roasted Tencha Stems, in Japanese: Tenbone Houjicha (てん骨ほうじ茶) is made from the small amount of stems and veins of removed from Tencha(てん茶) during refinement while larger branch stems are made into Obubu's Suzume Hojicha. Tencha are the high grade unrolled tea leaves used to make matcha tea powder. Because you drink the entire leaf when you drink matcha, the leaves used for matcha tea powder need to be as sweet as possible. So when Tencha is created, Akky covers the tea plants for up to four weeks to reduce the amount of catechin (which creates bitterness) as much as possible.
\n
In the process of making matcha, the dried, unrolled tencha tea leaves are then separated into two groups, soft and tough parts. The tough parts are the stems and veins and they are called tenbone (tencha no hone, the bones of tencha).
\n
Akky has taken these bones of the tencha and lightly roasted them to produce a mild yet luxurious flavor. Enjoy the elegance of Tenbone Houjicha and all its sweetness and aroma!

Hojicha roasted green tea made from premium spring sencha and stems. Roasted at a high temperature for fresh flavor profile. The roasting also sublimates the caffeine which is contained in the green tea so this tea is also perfect for children, pregnant women, and the elderly. It is said that the aroma of hojicha can make your heart at peace. A tea to enjoy with the entire family.

It is said that the aroma of hojicha can make your heart at peace. A tea to enjoy with the entire family.
\nRegion: Upper mountains of Yabe village, Yame District, Fukuoka, Japan. Altitude about 600 meters.

The roasting of deep steamed, late flushing spring leaves produces a light, refreshing hojicha tea with a wonderful aroma. We do a strong roast of the tea leaves, in the Kyoto style, which removes astringency and strengthens the aroma.
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nHarvest: Spring (Late May, Post-First flush)
\n
\nCultivar: Blend (Yabukita, Fukumidori, Sayama Kaori, Sae Akari, and others)
The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.
\n
Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.
\n
On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.

The roasting of deep steamed, late flushing spring leaves produces a light, refreshing hojicha tea with a wonderful aroma. We do a strong roast of the tea leaves, in the Kyoto style, which removes astringency and strengthens the aroma.
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nHarvest: Spring (Late May, Post-First flush)
\n
\nCultivar: Blend (Yabukita, Fukumidori, Sayama Kaori, Sae Akari, and others)
The Morita family are 10th generation tea farmers, and the eldest son (pictured above) has just decided to become the 11th generation.
\n
Located in the Sayama region of Saitama Prefecture, the Morita family was affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant failure in March, 2011. While their tea is tested to be radiation free (test results available), Sayama-cha is being avoided by vendors. We hope to help out the Morita family by connecting them with tea lovers around the world.
\n
On behalf of the Morita family, we greatly appreciate your understanding and trust that the tea provided here is tested and found to be completely safe.
Tea farmer Tomizawa-san uses an extra long roasting of his guricha green tea leaves to create this richly flavored deep-roasted hojicha. This tea is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you're supporting sustainable farming practices.

The women of Kiroku Tea Garden began experimenting with a unique roasting of their tencha tea leaves a few years ago (in cooperation with their roasting partner in Wazuka Village), and created this unique roast—a deep, double-roasting of their single cultivar okumidori spring tencha leaves that creates a sweetness in the tea when steeped.
\n
Tencha is the green tea leaf used to make matcha, and okumidori cultivar spring tencha is highly sought after for matcha. Most farmers would think it a waste to roast these leaves, but in the pursuit of innovation in tea, the Hori family sets aside a small amount each year for creating this sweet roast.

About the Garden
\n
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
\n
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).

Tarui-san's hojicha ground into a fine powder for easy and instant hojicha tea. While you may be familiar with matcha powder, have you ever tried or experimented baking with hojicha (roasted green tea) powder? Like matcha powder, you often see it in ice cream, pudding, lattes, and baked goods such as cookies, cakes, donuts, etc... A simple personal autumn-winter favorite is to bake cookies with hojicha powder and to add white chocolate chips. If you would like inspiration, here is a recipe from Sachiko-san to bake hojicha roll cake!
\n
Hojicha powder can also serve as an easy way to make hojicha quickly and drink 100% of the tea.

This hojicha was made from tea leaves that grew quickly over the summer months and were harvested in early October. Although by this time, the tea leaves will be rather hard (i.e., in comparison to the early summer tea leaves), by roasting the tea leaves, one will obtain a lovely hojicha with a pleasant and autumnal aroma.
\n
Leaves from the autumn harvest are low in caffeine. Therefore, we recommend hojicha to those who care about their caffeine intake and/or to those who are sensitive to caffeine. It is also a perfect tea to enjoy at the end of one’s day. Hojicha can also be easily made with boiling hot water (you do not have to be too careful about the hot water temperature as in senchas), so it is a tea one may enjoy quite light-heartedly and easily.
\n
This hojicha comes from Setoya Megumi Tea Garden in Setoya district, Fujieda city. The tea farm owner, who trained at a tea farm in Fujieda City in 2017, regenerated the abandoned tea plantation with his friends in 2018. The Setoya district is a mountainous area in Fujieda City. We take care to maintain the rich natural environment of this tea farm, with the aim of making delicious tea for both the brewers and drinkers. And, it is pesticide and chemical fertilizer free.

This asakiri hojicha from Morita tea shop was made utilizing the \"head\" of the first tea harvest leaves (i.e., the large part that is screened and sifted during the manufacturing process, and many tea farmers/houses refer to it as the \"willow\" or \"head\"). The degree of roasting of this hojicha can be said to be relatively light in comparison to your typical hojicha.
\n
This tea can also be characterized due to its gentle sweetness, fragrant aroma, with a light reddish-brown (or amber) color. If you prefer your hojicha to be strong, it is recommended to use hot water for a large amount of tea leaves, this will result in a profound aroma. In the summer, one may even enjoy it as an iced hojicha by brewing it in a glass filled with ice. Hojicha is a tea that is accessible to all (e.g., pregnant women and children) because the amount of caffeine contained in the tea leaves decreases during the roasting process. Please enjoy this tea in diverse ways!
\n
The Morita family has been craftily blending tea for some 80 years in the Sayama region of Saitama prefecture (north of Tokyo, and one of the major tea producing regions in Japan) to develop high quality tea. As a blender, they select high quality leaves from various tea farms in Japan, and buy it as aracha or processed but unfinished tea.

Roasted by farmer Kajiyama Yukako and her husband, this hojicha is dominated by spring sencha tea stems and some leaves with a distinct but delicate roastiness and notes of caramel.
\n
Temperature: Used a lower than standard temperature (160C)
\n
Grown on mountain-top tea fields in the remote Kiyosawa Village, in the mountains of Eastern Shizuoka.
\n
Kiyosawa Village is the old name for the this mountainous region of the Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, and means \"pure river\". The Kuromata River 黒俣川 runs through the area.
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nCultivars: Blended
\n
\nHarvest: May
\n
\nNotes: Pesticides are used only after the spring harvest has finished during the summer months when insects are more active. Only one harvest (spring) is made per year.
The nice aspect about hojicha is that you do not have to pay careful attention to the temperature of the boiling water, which allows anyone to enjoy it easily. As long as you steep it with boiling water, you will end up with a tasty cup of hojicha. Additionally, when you open the tea bag, when you go to steep the tea, when you go to drink your hojicha or afterwards, you feel an instant sense of relief and comfort. This may be due to the roasty and comforting aroma from the hojicha which contains the fragrant ingredient with the relaxing effect of \"pyrazine (produced when adding heat to tea leaves). Hojicha contains this pyrazine abundantly.

In 1892, Dobashien's founder Tetsugoro Dobashi established a small tea shop in a quiet residential district on the outskirts of Tokyo. As the city expanded, the area known as Akasaka-Mitsuke became one of the city's elite districts with ryotei, luxury Japanese restaurants, hosting meetings between powerful politicians. At these ryotei, only the best tea leaves from Shizuoka and other parts of Japan are served.

Yunomi.life’s Women in Tea Sampler Gift Set introduces 5 different teas (10 grams each for you to sample) produced by Japanese farmers who are women.
\n
The set includes two senchas, a hojicha, a wakocha (Japanese black tea), and oolong tea to provide a diversity of different teas for you to try.
\n
In addition to the different types of teas, these teas are all different single, unblended cultivars. Please enjoy the various teas from a couple of the inspiring women working hard in the Japanese tea industry.
\n
Included with this set are the following teas:
\n
\n
\nKuma Tea Garden: Saemidori Imperial Mountain-Grown Sencha - an award-winning tea which is representative of Yame-cha (tea from Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture) with a rich umami and mellow taste. The saemidori cultivar is known for its brilliant green color, please enjoy with its pleasant sweetness.\n
\n
\nAyumi Farms (Cyittorattu): Sencha that Laughs with the Mountains - a classic yabukita cultivar sencha coming from the artisanal tea farmer Ayumi-san in Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture. Locally and organically produced, this mountain tea is characterized by its thin and delicate leaves, sweetness, and rounded aroma. \n
\n
\nKiroku Tea Garden: Okumidori Roasted Spring Tencha Amehojicha, The Sweet Roast- a unique double roasted tencha by the three women of Kiroku in Wazuka, Kyoto Prefecture. The roast is done on their single cultivar okumidori spring tencha leaves and creates a welcomed sweetness in the tea when steeped. \n
\n
\nKoukien Tea Garden: Wakocha Kanaya Midori Single Cultivar Black Tea - This Japanese black tea or wakocha comes from sisters Yurie and Akane who are focusing their effort into wakocha production. Made at the foot of the mountains in Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture, the kanaya midori cultivar produces a slightly more creamy flavor profile than other cultivars when made into black tea.\n
\n
\nAzuma Tea Garden: Kyoto Oolong Tea, Single Cultivar Uji Midori - an oolong tea made with the uji midori cultivar in Wazuka, Kyoto Prefecture. What is interesting is that without using pesticides, small insects called unka populate the field in the early summer and damage the leaves in a way that turns into a delicious flavor when the leaves are withered into oolong tea (magic!).\n
\n
As a bonus we will also include another 2 types of tea from women producers.
\n
\n
Background
\n
Yunomi’s founder Ian Chun launched the Women in Tea Collection back in October 2021 in efforts to spotlight and encourage the women who have taken on leading roles in their businesses. Perhaps you are already familiar with this collection page and/or have even sampled some of the teas (thank you!). We wanted to again shine the light on these passionate women, and to help connect you to some of these inspiring women (Yunomi’s “people-to-people” philosophy). While women in the Japanese tea industry face a wide-array of experiences and challenges, they share one common beautiful thread which is their love for Japanese tea. With this special Women in Tea Sampler set, we hope that our customers will be able to enjoy teas from women who are passionate about tea and working hard on a day-to-day basis in the Japanese tea industry. Please join us in cheering them on.

The women of Kiroku Tea Garden began experimenting with a unique roasting of their tencha tea leaves a few years ago (in cooperation with their roasting partner in Wazuka Village), and created this unique roast—a deep, double-roasting of their single cultivar okumidori spring tencha leaves that creates a sweetness in the tea when steeped.
Tencha is the green tea leaf used to make matcha, and okumidori cultivar spring tencha is highly sought after for matcha. Most farmers would think it a waste to roast these leaves, but in the pursuit of innovation in tea, the Hori family sets aside a small amount each year for creating this sweet roast.
Notes: Roasted. No pesticides used prior to harvest, synthetic fertilizers used.
Region: Wazuka Village, Kyoto Prefecture
Steeping Recommendation
Tea: 5 grams.Time: 1 min.Water: 80C/178F, 200 ml. Resteep up to 6 times.
About the Garden
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).
