Tasting memo
Strong body with distinctive roasted, earthy aroma with nutty notes, resembling walnuts, hazelnuts, roasted grains and a hint of sweetness like roasted chestnuts. Quite strong in taste, making this tea powder suitable for latte because the flavors will not be overwhelmed by milk. Also suitable for dessert making purposes such as baking cakes.

Let's try: Hojicha latte
To have final content of 300 ml, whisk 2 g hojicha powder in 30 ml hot water (100°C ), and add foamed milk.
For beautiful latte art, try to whisk gently (but strong enough to homogenize the tea) to avoid too much foam at the surface.
To create your perfect latte, you can play around with the amount of powder, milk type, and maybe additional flavor syrups too.
Enjoy!

PRODUCER OF THIS TEA

Miyazaki Sabou

宮崎茶房

Miyazaki Sabou is a tea farm located at the northern part of Gokase, the tea-producing area in the mountains of the northwest Miyazaki. This region is one of the few places which preserves the traditional kamairicha to date. Together with their traditional kamairicha, Miyazaki Sabou is also known for their delicious black tea and oolong tea. Led by Mr. Akira Miyazaki, a person of rich knowledge and passion for tea cultivars, this tea farm is the leader of the tea production of this region.

Right plant at the right place

お茶の樹も適材適所

The characteristic unique cultivar offers of this farm is the result of the continuous efforts of Mr. Miyazaki and his team to realize a truly tasty and safe kamairicha without any single use of agrochemicals (herbicides and alike) nor chemical fertilizers. However, no such inputs means that tea plants have to survive the diseases and reduced soil nutrients by their own.

Mr. Miyazaki carefully chooses the most suitable cultivars for each of his farm plots. The terroir of Miyazaki Sabou is the collaboration of their expertise and tea cultivars beautifully tuned for their land.
