[**This is a product page for samples.] ※※】 An authentic chai blended with carefully selected spices based on organic hojicha from Nara Tsukigase Health Tea Garden and Costa Rican cacao husk (cacao bean skin) that knows the authentic chai. You can enjoy the refreshing sweetness and fragrant aroma. Although it has a light mouthfeel, the aroma of spices and cacao is intertwined, creating a deep taste. 〇A wonderful encounter between organic hojicha and cacao husks. The hojicha and cacao husks used in chai are both upcycled raw materials. Hojicha is an organic bancha from Nara Tsukigase Health Tea Garden, and is made from dust tea (powdered fine tea leaves) that are selected from crushed tea leaves during tea making. The tea leaves are aged and slowly roasted to give them a clean taste without astringency. I added Costa Rican cacao husks to add richness, depth, and aroma. Cacao contains epicatechin, a type of polyphenol called the "happiness hormone", and is a pleasant ingredient to drink and gentle on the body. 〇 Noguchi's special blend, which knows all about authentic chai. Spice specialist Shankar Noguchi is particular about the taste and aroma of this authentic chai. Mr. Noguchi is the third-generation representative of the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce.

The cacao series using cacao husk (cacao bean skin) is not only delicious, but also upcycling is one of the important purposes. When making bean-to-bar chocolate, cocoa husks, which make up about 30% of cocoa beans, are rarely utilized. Therefore, we are developing upcycled products that have found value in cacao husks. By using these products, you contribute to reducing the amount of waste as much as possible. We believe that purchasing whole cacao will lead to high-quality production. 〇 "GOOD CACAO" series. The "GOOD CACAO" series brings out the charm of cacao to the fullest, such as the soothing aroma of high-quality cacao purchased directly from a face-to-face producer, and the unique richness and umami that add depth to the taste. Not only cocoa nibs, but also the flavorful husk (cacao bean skin) that is created during the process of making bean-to-bar chocolate. Based on the concept of "all cacao is delicious whole," we will deliver a "cacao-scented moment" that will lead to the upcycling of cocoa, and will relieve both the mind and body.
