A very rare and beautiful award-winning dark roast, single cultivar yabukita hojicha from Shizuoka, Japan

 

This imperial grade dark roast hojicha makes an incredible hojicha oat milk latte


    It took me over a year to find a dark roast hojicha that met my standards, so here it is 😌

     

    If you like coffee but not matcha, I would start here!


    This is some top tier stuff, plus it's not gritty like other brands 😏
