Yoru Slow Roasted Hojicha by Seren
Soft Caramel • Chocolate • Toasted Grain
Meet Yoru, our slow roasted hojicha powder from Uji, Kyoto. Made from first harvest Yabukita, hand-picked, hand-sorted, then roasted and finely ground in Uji, Yoru is crafted for a smooth, mellow cup with soft caramel sweetness, roasted cacao depth, and a toasted-grain finish.
Low in bitterness and naturally lower in caffeine, Yoru blends beautifully with milk for a warm, rounded hojicha latte. It is also perfect for iced drinks, baking, desserts, and slow afternoon rituals.

Crafted with respect
Yoru reflects a quieter side of Japanese tea craft. Roasted instead of steamed like matcha, hojicha brings warmth, depth, and comfort to every cup. Smooth, creamy, and softly toasted, it is made for those moments when you want something grounding, gentle, and easy to love.
