Sugimoto’s Hojicha is crafted from high-grade Kukicha and Sencha harvested early in the season, rather than the typical late-summer Bancha. Roasted at high temperatures to a rich, toasty brown, this tea releases a warming aroma and naturally sweet, rounded flavor. Gentle and comforting, it is a refined choice for the evening or any quiet moment, with a smooth, mellow character. The tea can be steeped multiple times, revealing subtle layers of roasted warmth with each infusion.
