Kuromoji from the Forest of Hyogo

Hyogo Forest Kuromoji Tea is designed for people who seek a natural and healthy lifestyle. It is especially suitable for adults who are interested in wellness, stress relief, and mindful living. It is ideal for women in their 30s to 50s who enjoy relaxing moments for themselves, and for men in their 40s to 60s who prefer authentic, high-quality and traditional products. Because it is caffeine-free and gentle on the body, it is also suitable for children, pregnant women, and elderly people.

This tea can be enjoyed in many daily situations. It is perfect for relaxing in the evening, refreshing your mind between work or household tasks, and supporting daily mental care. It is also recommended as a hospitality drink when welcoming guests, or as a welcome tea served before meals. After meals, it can be enjoyed as a palate-cleansing tea, leaving a pleasant and long-lasting aroma. In addition, it can be used as a base for creative drinks such as lemon tea, milk tea, or mixed with spirits for a refreshing aromatic experience.

Hyogo Forest Kuromoji Tea is made only from kuromoji sourced in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The branches and leaves are carefully harvested, washed, cut by hand, and slowly air-dried using a unique natural method. This process preserves the natural vitality of the plant and its rich, elegant aroma, which clearly differs from ordinary dried herbs.

The tea contains no caffeine, no additives, and no artificial ingredients, making it safe and gentle for daily consumption. Its refreshing woody fragrance, subtle sweetness, and clean finish create a calming and comfortable experience. The tea reflects Japanese forest craftsmanship and offers a premium, natural wellness experience that connects the body, mind, and nature.
