Hojicha, or roasted green tea, is one of Japan’s most popular and diverse teas. Traditionally considered a winter tea for its earthy flavor profile and low caffeine content, Yui’s Hojicha is a delicate variation, making it ideal to enjoy throughout the year. An extended steep will bring out subtle notes of chocolate, charcoal, and honey.
This tea is part of our YAMATO COLLECTION, which features teas grown in present-day Nara, Japan’s first capital. This particular tea is sourced from husband-and-wife farmers who made their U.S. debut by partnering with PARU.

Thank you for the sample!
I impulsively bought a pound of their milk oolong with a discount, and put this sample in the order. It only lasted two steeps, but was immensely smooth and good. Smoke, toffee, chocolate, roast, charcoal, honey, wood, autumn, earth, ash, and a little bit of grassiness or moss in an incredible first steep after 45 seconds. 50 seconds for the second one, and it was faded. Delicious, but faded.
I would definitely consider picking some of this up in another order. Makes me mourn the opportunity for their rum one. Either way, I was deeply satisfied with this Hojicha. The only downside is that it didn’t last.

Oof! You won’t be running out of green oolong for a while! I hope that milk oolong is good.
Yeah, but that won’t prevent me from getting more lol. I’m really excited about the swap too! Granted, I always drink green oolong, so they last me a decent amount of time because I finish them so quickly. It’s one of the few milk oolongs that’s actually fruity. I think it’s flavored, but it’s very reliable.
I also keep hearing speculation about current events over Taiwan, and it has me panic buying a little bit this year.
Yes, events in Taiwan are worrying. I have your box all packed up and ready to go, though there’s space for a couple more teas that I’m trying to fill.
Just in case you need even more green oolong, Floating Leaves is having a one-day 35% off sale on their winter 2021 oolongs and baozhongs. I’m tempted, but will resist. :) I’m working my way through a 150 g bag of spring 2021 Li Shan from Bok and don’t need more tea!
Yay!
150 grams of Lishan=cool
Definitely! It’s good, though better in a clay pot with slightly longer steeps than I usually do. I have about 100 g left. :)
