Hojicha

Hojicha is a unique Japanese green tea that is distinguished from other green teas by the roasting process the tea leaves undergo. Instead of the typical green, fresh flavour of many green teas, an infusion of this amber-coloured tea produces a cup with warm, softly roasted notes and a round, natural sweetness. The flavour also has subtle hints of liquorice root and a light nuttiness that creates a well-balanced and rich experience. The mild, roasted flavour makes this tea an excellent choice for those seeking a tea with deeper, more complex flavours.

Our Hojicha is made from organic bancha, a high-quality Japanese green tea that is gently roasted to bring out its characteristic flavour. The roasting of bancha tea leaves, which normally have a stronger and more robust character than younger tea leaves, gives hojicha its distinctive roasted flavour and mitigates the tea's natural bitterness.

With its low caffeine content, hojicha is a perfect evening tea, offering a calming and relaxing drink. But even during the day, Hojicha is a great option for those who prefer a milder, savoury tea to accompany both meals and quiet moments. With its rich, warm flavour, natural sweetness and nuttiness, Hojicha is a tea that can be enjoyed at any time of day.
