Description

Sugimoto’s Hojicha is crafted from high-grade Kukicha and Sencha harvested early in the season, rather than the typical late-summer Bancha. Roasted at high temperatures to a rich, toasty brown, this tea releases a warming aroma and naturally sweet, rounded flavor.

Gentle and comforting, it is a refined choice for the evening or any quiet moment, with a smooth, mellow character. The tea can be steeped multiple times, revealing subtle layers of roasted warmth with each infusion.

About the New Packaging
The central motif of our new packaging is the mizuhiki knot. Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese decorative cord, used to mark moments of gratitude, respect, and connection. On our packaging, it serves as a quiet symbol of these values.

To us, the mizuhiki represents the relationships that shape our tea, from the growers who cultivate the leaves, to our own team who carefully finish and pack them, and ultimately to those who enjoy them. Each knot reflects intention and care, reinforcing the idea that tea is not simply a product, but a connection between people, place, and time.

My last review I hit 4 stars by accident

Exactly the title. I meant to leave a 5 star review.

Perfect Roastiness

I really enjoy the hojicha style of tea, and this is a great one. Great comforting flavor in this tea, roasty and sweet.

I love this tea

This tea has made my list of favourite teas. I had heard of hocjicha and I always wanted to try it. I was not disappointed. I love the aroma and flavours with every sip. I definitely want to order more of this tea.

Absolute favorite!

This tea is incredibly comforting. Mildly sweet with a rich bark taste to it. Love the roasted aftertaste. I am an avid tea drinker, Hojicha is by far my favorite tea.

Epic

The company as a whole is wonderful. The website is great and has so many helpful tips throughout it and the products all have in-depth instructions/descriptions with each one. The products have all been fantastic as well, not mention the gifts and notes or recipe books they also give you to help better your experience

Excellent

The tea from Sugimoto Tea is consistently of great quality. I have had zero issues with the products I have purchased with their trademark on it. It has been my experience that tea from US grocery stores is always stale or old with a distinct mildew taste. Not the case with this tea. It has a slight sweetness and coffee-like flavor and brews the same way each and every time. Really my favorite tea.
