Grown in the misty hills of Shizuoka, Honoka is a rare Japanese black tea (wakoucha) made from first flush tea leaves. Crafted with the traditional Japanese cultivar Benifuuki, it offers a mellow sweetness, smooth body, and gentle astringency, distinct from black teas found elsewhere.

The name Honoka, meaning “faint glow,” reflects the tea’s comforting character. With notes of warm cacao, toasted grain, and soft malt, each sip feels like a soft blanket around your senses—deep, grounding, and quietly uplifting. Naturally rich in antioxidants with a moderate caffeine lift, Honoka supports calm focus, perfect for reading, journaling, or unwinding after a long day.

ほうじ茶の淹れ方

HOW TO BREW HOJICHA

1 | Heat fresh, filtered water until boiled. Let cool very slightly — water close to 203°F (95°C) is ideal for bringing out the fragrance and flavor in Hojicha.

2 | Pour water over 1 tablespoon of tea leaves per cup.

3 | Steep for 1-2 minutes. All of our teas can be steeped up to 3 times.

FOR ICED HOJICHA:
Simply add the desired amount of Hojicha tea leaves into a container or bottle and pour in boiling water. Let the tea steep and cool down before putting it in the fridge to chill. After 2 hours, the cold brew Hojicha is ready. Cold-brew tea lasts in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

For a more mellow flavor, add water to your desired amount of Hojicha tea leaves and let steep in the fridge for 3 hours before drinking.
