Richly nutty, naturally sweet, and incredibly smooth — Marukyu Koyamaen Hojicha Type B is a premium light-roast hojicha celebrated for its comforting, chocolate-like flavor and mellow roasted aroma. Crafted in Uji, Kyoto by the renowned Marukyu Koyamaen tea house, this version offers a sweeter, softer, and more cocoa-forward profile compared to the smokier and deeper Type A.

Roasted gently to preserve its natural sweetness, Type B highlights notes of toasted nuts, milk chocolate, caramelized sugar, and warm roasted grains, finishing with an exceptionally smooth and clean taste. With almost no bitterness and naturally low caffeine, it’s the perfect everyday hojicha — ideal for cozy sipping, iced tea, and sweet, fragrant hojicha lattes.
