Hojicha Roasted Japanese Green Tea - Organic

Our Hojicha comes from premium quality Shizuoka Prefecture tea leaves grown in an organic garden in Shizuoka Prefecture. The leaves are both steamed and roasted. This results in a savory, nutty, Japanese green tea with an aroma that might remind you of puffed rice cereal from your childhood. Our staff visited this garden in 2023.

There are no bitter notes, even when brewed more than once. The caffeine content is lower than most other green teas because roasting causes much of the caffeine to dissipate. Many of our customers make iced tea with Hojicha.

Steep like a tea professional and never use boiling water on green tea. 165-175F is the optimal temperature.
