Tea Features
Ishikawa, Japan
Houjicha
Kaga Boucha
100% pure tea leaves.
The "White" Kaga-Bou Houjicha is a special Houjicha made from only the selected young "white twigs" of the first flush tea. These tea twigs bursting in umami are then lightly roasted to highlight the magnificent floral aromatics of this precious tea.
Along with the "blue", this is a tea which we tried to add into our shop last year yet wasn't able to as it quickly ran out of stock. This year we are fortunate to be able add them into our shop but in limited quantities. Please try while stocks last!
You can try the differences of all three types of Kaga-Boucha in this bundle.
Great mindfulness choice. Perfect tea for a healthy, relaxing moment and to relieve your stress.
- * The innovation and invention of twig-based Houjicha originates in the Kaga area (where it is Ishikawa today), hence is called the Kaga-boucha.

Houjicha
This is one of the long lasting tea that retains its flavor and aroma after 4-5 brew. Highly recommended for those who enjoy smoky/caramelized flavors.

The White Kaga-Bou Houjicha Premium Select 80g by Koudoen
This is an exceptional tea that has truly delighted my senses. From the moment I opened the package, I was greeted by the rich aroma of tea leaves. The flavor is exquisite, offering a perfect balance of earthy and nutty notes that create a soothing and comforting experience with every sip. This tea has become a daily indulgence for me, and I can't recommend it enough to fellow tea enthusiasts. It's a true gem in the world of teas!

amazing houjicha!
i previously tried the premium kaga-bou hou hicham also by koudoen and i was very impressed by its quality. this white kaga-bou houjicha didn’t disappoint as well — the roasty aroma envelops your senses the moment you open the pack. but unlike the first houjicha that i tried, this “white” version tasted a lot less roasted, hence making it a lighter tea compared to the one i first tried. i think i might like this even better! at 80g a pack, it can last pretty long even if consumed daily so it’s very worth the price too. and i would most definitely revisit the shop again because there seems to be an endless option to all the different teas and most importantly, the impeccable quality and service provided by Yuki. thank you so much!

5 stars
The Kaga Bou Houjicha is an absolute delight. I tried this tea through the bundle, and out of the 3 types I like this one the most. I feel it’s very different from the normal hojicha. It has light dancing flavours and none of the earthy darker tastes. The 90g is actually pretty big and will last for a while.

Excellent
Fragrant and so flavourful. I love the delicate, roasted aroma. Full-bodied taste yet so incredibly relaxing, especially in the evening.

Great tea, greatly greatly recommend
You can tell that this tea is something special the moment you open the bag and give it a sniff. I loved it so much - I think my nose was stuck in the bag forever! The taste of the tea is also exceptional. Thank you Yuki for bringing in great tea.
