[Mild taste with a refreshing aroma and rich and mellow sweetness] Stick hojicha is popular in Kaga bar tea. It is characterized by a refreshing fragrance reminiscent of freshly picked shoots and a lingering scent. It is a "stick hojicha" that roasts only the high-quality soft stem part of the early Ichibancha at a high temperature. By roasting only the stems without adding leaves, it has a more fragrant and very refreshing taste than regular hojicha. The raw materials (sticks) used are carefully selected only from high-grade tea, and they are roasted weakly so that you can feel the flavor of the tea leaves. * Because it is lightly roasted, the color is lighter than regular roasted tea. It is low in caffeine, so it can be recommended before bed or for children. It goes well with Japanese sweets, baked sweets, and bitter Western sweets. * Please choose from tea bags, tea leaves or powder. Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture, which is the main production area of Sayama tea, has vast tea plantations in the western part of it. Sayama tea is a tea produced in the tea-producing area closest to the city center. It is a tea produced mainly in the western part of Saitama Prefecture and the Nishitama area of Tokyo, and has a very long history as a production area, dating back to the Kamakura period. As the saying goes, "The color is Shizuoka, the aroma is Uji, and the taste is Sayama," the biggest attraction lies in its powerful taste, and the traditional processing method called "Sayama burning" that makes the most of that taste is also one of the characteristics of Sayama tea. Sayama tea is called Japan's three most famous teas, along with Shizuoka tea and Uji tea. "Tea brings people together, and family reunions are created around tea." With such thoughts in mind, we will deliver Sayama tea that will please our customers.
