The Spirit of Kyoto, Naturally Grown: Introducing DOIT! FARM! to the UK
We are thrilled to announce our official partnership with DOIT! FARM!, bringing their exceptional, single-origin Kyoto Uji teas to the UK for the very first time.
As a small, family-run tea farm nestled in the historic region of Uji, DOIT! FARM! stands entirely apart from mass production. They practice true Shizen Nōhō (Natural Farming), meaning their crops are cultivated with absolute respect for the earth—entirely free from chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Powered only by the natural richness of the soil and the daily care of a single family, every leaf captures the pure, unaltered essence of Kyoto.
Taste tea in its most authentic, pristine form. Discover a collection that is as kind to the body as it is to the planet.
Dark Roasted Green Tea
Hojicha (ほうじ茶) is a unique Japanese roasted green tea celebrated for its distinctive toasty, smoky aroma, deep amber colour, and exceptionally low bitterness. Unlike traditional green teas that are steamed to preserve a vegetal, grassy profile, hojicha leaves (typically Bancha, Sencha, or Kukicha) are high-heat roasted over charcoal or sand. This thermal processing alters the chemical profile, transforming catechins to eliminate astringency while substantially reducing caffeine content, making it the perfect soothing option for evening relaxation or caffeine-sensitive drinkers
How to Enjoy It
-
Loose Leaf / Tea Bags: Steep the leaves in freshly boiled water (around 90–100°C) for 1 to 3 minutes. It can also be cold-brewed or served over ice for a refreshing summer drink.
