Saicho Hojicha Sparkling Tea 75cl is a roasted green tea from Japan with a rich, toasty profile that combines umami, smoky notes, and roasted hazelnut flavours. Originating in Kyoto in the 1920s, this tea was initially crafted from leftover leaves, stems, and twigs, resulting in a deep, smoky character. The tea is perfectly complemented by dry, woody tannins and offers a complex, savoury tasting experience that pairs beautifully with sushi or mushroom risotto.

Key Features:

  • Origin: Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan – the largest tea-producing region
  • Flavour Profile: Umami-rich with notes of nori seaweed, roasted hazelnut, delicate smoke, and woody tannins
  • Perfect Pairings: Ideal with sushi, mushroom risotto, or other umami-rich dishes
  • Packaging: 75cl – A sophisticated and refreshing sparkling tea
  • Cultural Heritage: Rooted in Japanese tradition, first developed in Kyoto in the 1920s
  • Alcohol free

Origin and Terroir:
Grown in the mild climate of Shizuoka Prefecture, this tea is made by roasting second-flush Sencha green tea. The roasting process transforms the leaves into a deep reddish-brown colour, creating a unique toasty, nutty flavour. Hojicha was originally created by a Kyoto tea merchant as a way to make use of leftover leaves, stems, and twigs, quickly becoming popular for its inviting roasted aroma.

A Unique Sparkling Experience:
Saicho Hojicha Sparkling Tea offers a delightful and unique twist on traditional tea. With its deep umami character and delicate effervescence, it’s a sophisticated choice for those looking for an unconventional sparkling drink, ideal for pairing with food or enjoying on its own.
