Hojicha made from bancha leaves are mixed with leaves and stems from a type of flowering pea plant called kawara ketsumei or more commonly mamecha and enjoyed in Japan as an herbal tea. The delicious roasted aroma and clean taste is perfect for after dinner.
Note: We mislabeled it “soybean” because misunderstood mamecha at first.

I was totally surprised to find my Yunomi subscription box in my mailbox today! I guess I forgot that it comes so early in the month, looking back at my records I see that the last box came on the 5th of December. Either way, I love surprise tea! This month the box contains five different teas from the same seller – Onocha. These teas are from a family-owned farm in the town of Ono in the Yamaguchi Prefecture. I chose this one to try first because the addition of pea stems and leaves sounded interesting! The houjicha itself looks to be a very dark roast, and the dried pea stems and leaves are in large pieces, making this a rather chunky tea. Dry scent is roasted but not overly strong.
Mm, this is a tasty houjicha. It’s very smooth and mellow with a nice well-rounded roasted flavor and some sweetness. I’m unsure whether I can taste the pea leaves, as I don’t know what they taste like. If their flavor is there, it’s melding pretty seamlessly with the houjicha itself. I tend to prefer houji-kukicha because it’s generally smoother than regular houjicha, but this one is quite smooth and tasty.
