Saicho Hojicha Sparkling Tea is a bold reinterpretation of a Japanese classic—deeply roasted, richly aromatic, and refreshingly modern. Crafted from Sencha grown in the renowned tea fields of Shizuoka Prefecture, the leaves are expertly roasted to achieve Hojicha’s signature reddish-brown hue and nutty, smoky intensity. This ancient roasting method, first developed in Kyoto in the 1920s, transforms everyday tea leaves into something extraordinary. Saicho elevates this tradition through a 24-hour cold-brew process that captures the earthy depth, warmth, and subtle sweetness of Hojicha, before finishing it with a refined sparkle.
On the nose, Saicho Hojicha reveals layers of roasted hazelnut, nori seaweed, and gentle smokiness, accented by hints of orange peel and woodland earthiness. The palate is full-bodied and deeply umami, rounded yet refreshing, with a light bitterness on the finish that harmonizes beautifully with its fine tannins. The result is a sparkling tea that feels like a quiet walk through a sunlit forest calming, complex, and profoundly satisfying.
Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with sesame-crusted salmon, marinated tofu, shiitake mushroom risotto, and smoky barbecue dishes. For a gourmet touch, enjoy it with smoked eel on toasted rye bread.
