Fukujuen: origin & history.
Established in 1790 and reorganised as a company in 1949, Fukujuen has continued to develop its tea collection as drinking habits change. Matcha, gyokuro, sencha and hojicha sit alongside products created for different ways of preparing tea. Shiroi Kuki Hojicha illustrates that willingness to work differently with a familiar style. It uses the softer stems of tencha, the leaf processed for matcha, gently roasted to retain their pale appearance and bring out a toasted aroma.

A few pieces tell the story in their own way, through a shape, a material or a familiar gesture.
A closer look.
What catches our eye.
Using tencha stems gives this hojicha a material identity that is easy to see in the dry tea. The pale stems and clear amber cup distinguish it from darker, more heavily roasted-looking teas.
