Our Hojicha is a traditional style roasted green tea, made from a blend of leaves and stems. With a high-temperature roast, it has a warming and comforting aroma with flavor accents of coffee, roasted nuts and toasted barley.
Because the roasting process naturally lowers the caffeine content and eliminates bitterness, it yields a remarkably mild, smooth cup.
Hojicha is a versatile tea that you can enjoy at any time of day, from your morning routine to a relaxing evening ritual. It pairs well with sweets or accompanying a meal.
Origin: Japan, Shizuoka Prefecture
