Aromatic and Gentle on the Body: Hojicha Powder from the Heart of Uji, Yamashiro
Our hojicha powder is made from tea leaves grown in the Yamashiro region, one of the most renowned tea-producing areas within Kyoto’s Uji district. Carefully roasted at high temperatures, this fragrant hojicha is perfect for drinking on its own, as well as for use in lattes, desserts, and other creative recipes.

What makes Uji tea so special lies in its rich natural environment and centuries-old cultivation techniques. The Yamashiro region, in particular, offers ideal conditions for growing high-quality tea:

• Frequent misty weather – Softens sunlight, resulting in tender tea leaves rich in umami components such as theanine and amino acids

• Large temperature differences in the mountains – Produces aromatic, well-defined leaves

• Well-drained red soil – Encourages deep root growth and the absorption of nutrients, leading to flavorful tea leaves

These carefully cultivated tea leaves are roasted at high temperatures to enhance their aroma while naturally reducing caffeine content. This process makes the tea gentle on the stomach and suitable for children or relaxing evening enjoyment.

Hojicha is also known for its health-supporting nutrients, including:

• Catechins (antioxidant properties and immune support)

• Pyrazines (promote circulation and relaxation)

• Vitamin C (supports skin health and stress reduction)

• Insoluble dietary fiber (aids digestion and gut health)

Gentle and nourishing, our Uji hojicha is a comforting addition to your daily life. We invite you to enjoy a cup filled with the rich heritage, nature, and care of Kyoto’s tea tradition.
