Houjicha Maruyoushi Dark roast 50g

Excellent premium Houjicha from the Maruyoushi factory in Shiga Prefecture.

Due to its price, it cannot be expected to become an everyday tea for the general public; however, for a lover of Japanese teas, this premium Houjicha offers the opportunity to taste the very best in this category.

Behind this unique tea stands the Maruyoshi tea family’s four generations — a family that has devoted their work to one single thing: Houjicha. Where others see an everyday casual tea, they see a chance for a masterpiece.

Flavor Profile:

Deep notes of caramel, roasted chestnuts, and delicate sweetness. The aroma is full and intense, with no astringency, finishing cleanly.

When to choose this Houjicha:

Thanks to its naturally low caffeine content, it is ideal for quiet moments in the early evening or for calming down during a demanding day. It pairs wonderfully with desserts — for example, brownies or a genuine cheesecake. A tea for moments when you long for peace and comfort.
