Deeply roasted and aromatic blend crafted to deliver a bold, smoky profile that excels in both culinary applications and specialty beverages.

• Harvest & Composition: Primarily comprised of 3rd flush (Sanban-cha) tea leaves. Because these leaves are harvested later in the season, they possess a sturdier structure and higher mineral content, which allows them to withstand a high-heat roasting process without losing their character.

• Flavor Profile: The intense roasting process transforms the leaves' natural bitterness into a rich, nutty, and toasted aroma. This robust flavor is specifically designed to remain prominent even when paired with heavy creams, sugars, or flours.

• Best For: This grade is highly recommended for Hojicha Lattes, as well as a wide array of confectioneries such as roasted tea-flavored cakes, chocolates, and ice cream. Its deep, earthy notes provide a sophisticated contrast to sweet ingredients.
