Kagoshima
Kyushu Island, Japan
Kagoshima Prefecture is located at the southwest tip of Kyushu (the third largest island of Japan) and is largely mountainous and home to important lumber, fishing and agriculture industries. Much like the rest of Japan, this region has well manicured tea gardens with well-developed irrigation, and farmers follow strict growing procedures to produce this perfect tea bush shape and size.

Sadly the worst Houjicha I’ve tried- it has perfume/soap notes

I've tried a variety of hojicha powders from different brands. I won't name the brands here, but most of them are very popular matcha brands, and their hojicha powders are very chalky and don't have much flavor. Rishi's Hojicha powder is definitely top tier and grounded find enough that you don't get too much of the powder. Moreover, the flavor is very balanced with a hint of cocoa and caramel taste. It's amazing and a must try! We serve it at our cafe.

Love the sense of calm this tea gives me. The flavor is earthy and is complemented very well with some cacao, a bit of sweetener, and served latte style.

First, I love houjicha, so I knew the toasty, roasted notes to expect. I ordered the powder specifically to try to make houjicha lattes. I tried it today the way I make matcha lattes, and it was perfect. Absolutely delightful for an autumn or winter drink.

I was basing my purchase on the description of the taste and how it was reviewed by others. Couldn't get past the smell nor taste. I made a latte with it 3 times and just felt ill after drinking it. Wish there had been the option to sample this.
