Performance Hojicha. The afternoon cup that gets your fire going again.
Tasting notes
The most classic hojicha in our collection. Campfire, oak wood, and the outdoors: like oak logs burning on an open fire, crackling as they go. Where RIKAN tastes like a clear river, KORO tastes like a campfire.
Mind
The energy of fire. For the moments when you feel like damp firewood that will not catch, KORO gets you going again. Not a first-thing-in-the-morning tea, and not a night tea. An afternoon cup.
Body
A steady lift for the second half of the day, without the push of coffee.
How to serve
Tea bag. Brew hot and drink it in the afternoon.
Pairing and setting
Camping, rainy days, and outdoor terraces. In New York, after lunch, when there is one more stretch of work before dinner and another coffee feels like too much.
How it is made
NAKAI Leaf Roast. Yabukita, leaves only, no stems. Because the leaves are delicate, they are roasted slowly in two stages over two days, the same careful method as MATSUYOI, for a refined, high-quality hojicha.
