Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea which is customarily served hot in winter, for comfort, and cool in summer, for refreshment. Most Japanese green teas are steamed, where as hojicha is fired for a few minutes at a high temperature of around 200ºc, changing the leaf colour from a light green to a beautiful reddish-brown. This roasting process lowers the amount of caffeine present in the tea and gives the subtle sweet and savoury flavour unique to roasted tea. Nutty, toasted and slightly caramel flavours.

Mia M. ★★★★★

I've been drinking this every evening since it arrived, and the roasted flavor is so mellow there's barely any bitterness even when I forget and let it steep too long. It's become my go-to for winding down, and I love that I can serve it hot now and iced once summer hits.

Mia ★★★★★

The toasty, caramel-like aroma fills the kitchen the second the hot water hits the leaves, and it’s exactly the cozy comfort I was hoping for. I’ve been brewing it cold in the afternoon too, and it’s surprisingly refreshing without any bitterness.

Thomas ★★★★★

I grabbed a bag to try hot on a chilly evening and the roasted aroma alone sold me before the first sip. It steeps into a smooth, toasty cup with none of the grassiness you get from steamed greens, which is exactly what I wanted.
