KAEDE Uji Hojicha

KAEDE - Naturally Grown Premium Roasted Matcha Powder

Unlike ordinary hojicha made from mature leaves and stems, KAEDA is crafted from 1st flush Tencha leaves, the same premium, shade-grown base used for our ceremonial matcha. This gives KAEDA its remarkably smooth texture, complex depth, and naturally sweet aroma that sets it apart from typical roasted green teas.

Why You’ll Love KAEDA

• Premium Tencha Base - Made from first-flush Tencha rather than lower-grade leaves or stems, KAEDA delivers a cleaner, rounder cup with layers of warmth and gentle sweetness

• Traditional Roasting - Roasted with precision in small batches, the tea’s grassy notes transform into rich, nutty, and slightly caramelised tones, offering a soothing aroma and satisfying depth

• Naturally Low in Caffeine - The careful roasting process reduces caffeine, making KAEDA a perfect afternoon or evening tea. Comforting like coffee yet without the jitters.

• Pure & Honest - Grown without pesticides, additives, or artificial flavouring. Each batch is roasted, milled, and sealed onsite to preserve its peak freshness and delicate character.

The Craftsmanship Behind KAEDA

Lovingly produced by a fourth-generation family farm in Kyoto, KAEDA embodies the art of transformation. The Tencha leaves are shade-grown for 3 weeks to develop natural sweetness and umami, then gently roasted using time-honoured techniques. This process draws out deep nutty, toasty, and subtly caramelised flavours which reminiscent of coffee or chai, while maintaining a clean, lingering finish.

Every batch is milled and packed immediately after grounding, ensuring that the warmth, aroma, and freshness are captured inside every tin.
