Description

Step into the warmth of the forest with Morihō（森焙 / もりほう）, our roasted matcha blend inspired by the comforting stillness of early autumn. Crafted in the style of 焙じ茶 (Hōjicha), this low-caffeine tea delivers a smooth, toasty flavor with subtle notes of roasted nuts, caramel, and forest wood.

Made from gently roasted Uji-grown tea leaves, Morihō is soft on the palate and soothing to the soul — perfect for cozy evenings, after meals, or anytime you seek calm without the buzz of caffeine.

Its amber-green tone and mellow aroma reflect the Japanese concept of 侘寂 (Wabi-sabi) — finding beauty in simplicity, warmth in imperfection.

Enjoy it hot or cold, on its own or paired with milk or oat milk. A grounding, aromatic escape in every cup.

Brewing Notes (Usucha Style)

  1. Warm your matcha bowl (chawan) and bamboo whisk (chasen) with hot water. Discard the water and dry the bowl completely.
  2. Sift 2–3 grams (about 1–1.5 teaspoons) of matcha into the bowl using a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Add 60–70 ml of hot water at 70°C
  4. Whisk briskly in a zigzag “M” or “W” motion until the surface is frothy with fine bubbles.
  5. Enjoy immediately, sipping directly from the bowl to savour the vibrant, umami-rich flavor.
