Tarumi Hōjicha is a very balanced and aromatic tea, rich in umami. Its fragrance is gently toasty and slightly sour like the scent of fallen leaves. The flavor is sweet and spicy, fresh and umami rich, a bit like gyokuro.
Tarumi Hōjicha is first flush "aracha" stored away for three years and then roasted on low temperature for a longer time.
This hōjicha is very permissive. If you steep it with less water, the flavor will turn a little denser, with more water a little gentler, but either way, it will never get bitter.
Thanks to the deep roasting, hōjicha is low in caffeine and gentle to the stomach. It is ideal for the elderly and children as well.
