Hojicha 幸 -SACHI-

Cocoa-Like Aroma · Sophisticated Hojicha Powder

The aroma is centered on the toasty fragrance of deep roasting, with bitter, mellow notes reminiscent of cocoa. Reflecting the growing region’s short daylight hours and high humidity, it is supported by a fresh, gentle tea-leaf aroma rather than making a bold statement.

Finely milled to a texture close to matcha, it has a smooth mouthfeel with no powderiness or grittiness. The flavor is clean and refreshing, with a light texture reminiscent of Ceylon tea. Its astringency is distinct yet crisp, leaving no heaviness, while a small amount of shaded tea adds umami for an overall rounded, balanced finish.

The aftertaste is notably clean and refreshing, beginning with a crisp astringency and leaving little lingering sensation on the palate. With minimal harshness or off-flavors, its astringency becomes gentler when paired with sweet treats such as wagashi, highlighting its clean, crisp finish.
