Ao hojicha / grilled mountain tea / 70g

Hida no Homaré – First Harvest Green Tea from Gifu

This first-harvest tea is grown in Mino Hibi, in the mountainous Hida region, known for its heavy snowfall and remote, untouched landscapes.

The traditional production method, called "Aohoji," remains a closely guarded secret. This technique involves slowly roasting the tea leaves over a low flame, enhancing their deep aroma and flavor while preserving their natural green color. Cultivated to withstand the cold, these tea leaves develop a smooth, almost sweet initial taste, followed by a pleasant tannin-rich depth that lingers on the palate.

This tea is refreshing and full-bodied, making it a perfect pairing for rich cuisine and delicate sweets.

Experience the distinct character of Aohoji tea, a rare and refined alternative to traditional hojicha.
