Japan - Obubu Tea Farms - Hōjicha Gold

Obubu Tea Farm's Hōjicha Gold, crafted in Wazuka Town, Kyōto, is a refined and sophisticated roasted green tea-a distinctive experience for comfort and complexity all at once. Obubu Tea Farms, based in the heart of Kyoto, is known for its dedication to traditional tea-making techniques and sustainability, offering teas that capture the essence of Japan's finest green teas.

Made from high-quality sencha leaves, this hōjicha (焙じ茶) has been carefully roasted to develop a rich, nutty sweetness laced with subtle caramel and floral notes. This tea boasts a smooth, buttery mouthfeel while its soft roast fragrance makes every sip refreshing and warming at the same time.

The cup in gold is a visual delight, while the flavour profile is a perfect balance between sweet and savoury notes. The nutty sweetness leads smoothly into a savoury finish, making this a truly satisfying and profoundly comforting tea-perfect for relaxing moments or as an accompaniment to your day. Ideal for those who love hōjicha but are looking for a more nuanced, full-bodied brew.

Sipped after dinner or when one wants to be quiet, Obubu Tea Farms' Hōjicha Gold adds refinement and comfort. 

Infusion Recommendations:
This tea will infuse at least a total of three times, with each infusion uncovering a deeper roast flavour profile. Use hotter water in successive brews to access the full, caramel-like sweetness. Ideal for those who enjoy their hōjicha nuanced and multidimensional.

Also excellent cold brewed overnight in a 1 litre jug of water placed in the fridge over 15 hours. Adjust quantity to taste.
