Packed in convenient one-pot tea bags, it is designed for brewing generous batches to enjoy throughout the day, either hot or cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike leaf hojicha, kuki hojicha offers a distinctive balance of sweetness and fragrance. The roasting process brings forward notes of toasted grain, roasted nuts and caramel, whilst the stems contribute a gentle natural sweetness and remarkably smooth finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is immediately expressive, filling the cup with warm roasted notes reminiscent of freshly baked biscuits, toasted barley and light caramel. Despite its richness, the tea remains refreshing and easy to drink, making it suitable from morning through evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServed hot, Kuki Hojicha is warming, nutty and comforting. Prepared cold, the tea becomes smoother and naturally sweeter, revealing a clean finish that makes it especially refreshing during warmer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts roasted profile makes it particularly versatile alongside food.
