Roasted Japanese Green Tea, Cold Brewed & Sparkling
Originating in Kyoto in the 1920s as a way of honoring the full tea leaf—stems, stalks, and twigs included—Hojicha represents a humble yet exquisite form of Japanese craftsmanship. Saicho’s Hojicha captures this quiet beauty and elevates it into a cold-brewed, sparkling expression that bridges ritual with modern refinement.
The tea’s umami-rich character reveals notes of nori seaweed, roasted hazelnut, and a delicate, dry smokiness. Naturally low in caffeine and gently effervescent, it lends itself to slow meals and meaningful conversation. This is not simply a tea—it’s a mood. A sensory meditation bottled.
Why We Love It:
At Rienne, we are drawn to beverages that tell a story of origin, intention, and transformation. Saicho’s Hojicha Sparkling Tea is a study in balance—earthy yet elevated, roasted yet refreshing. It honors Japanese tradition while offering something entirely new: a pour that feels like incense, ceremony, and quiet brilliance in liquid form.
Our curated expressions are crafted to be experienced with intention. Unlike traditional spirits, their compositions are not designed around alcohol’s structure, and therefore do not follow the same ratios or profiles. Their character reveals itself through mindful preparation — in recipes, pairings, and small rituals that allow aroma, texture, and nuance to unfold.
For inspired serves, we invite you to explore The Pour, a space devoted to elevating the way each expression is enjoyed.
Should you wish for a more personal approach, our Concierge Team is always at your service at corcierge@rienne.co.
