"Smoky Hojicha" is a deeply aromatic tea created by smoking hojicha with cherry wood chips. Its robust, bitter flavor pairs perfectly with the richness of butter and chocolate. Enjoy it with financiers infused with salted cherry blossoms for a sophisticated spring tea party. It also complements cheese, dried fruits, and other whiskey accompaniments wonderfully.
