Hojicha is a bright yet deeply comforting loose leaf Japanese green tea — smooth, refined, and beautifully balanced.
Unlike most green teas, Hojicha is gently roasted over charcoal, transforming fresh tea leaves and stems into a rich, amber infusion with warm, toasty character. Expertly crafted in Japan from premium tea material, this loose leaf Hojicha develops inviting notes of roasted nuts, warm wood, caramelised grain and a soft, natural sweetness — with none of the grassy sharpness often associated with green tea.
The roasting process lowers the caffeine and creates an exceptionally smooth, mellow cup with a clean finish and cosy depth. Comforting in the evening, grounding in the afternoon, and effortlessly drinkable at any time of day, it’s a Japanese green tea that feels both distinctive and reassuring.
