Yamamasa Koyamaen Hojicha Rich – 100g

Yamamasa Koyamaen Hojicha Rich 100g is a premium roasted green tea powder from Uji, Kyoto, Japan, created for a fuller, smoother hojicha experience. Compared with a more bitter roast, the Rich profile emphasizes mellow roasted aroma and a rounded, comforting flavor.

Yamamasa Koyamaen itself features Rich as one of its premium hojicha powders and specifically describes it as smoother than the darker Kogashi style. Its official recipe uses Rich for a mellow hojicha latte and notes that it gives a mellow, smooth flavor.

Product Highlights

Taste Profile

Rich • Toasty • Nutty • Smooth • Mellow

Hojicha Rich delivers the warm aroma associated with roasted Japanese tea, with a smoother and more rounded profile rather than a sharply bitter roast. Yamamasa's official recipe specifically describes Rich as mellow, contrasting it with Kogashi's more bitter character.

Common tasting descriptions from retailers include roasted nuts, caramel, cocoa and a gentle sweetness, although these are best treated as tasting notes rather than official Yamamasa specifications.
