Tasting Notes
Creamy and smooth, with notes of honey, earth, nuts, bark, baked fruit, cinnamon, and baking spices.
How To Brew Hojicha
Use 1 level teaspoon per 6 oz. water. Heat water until briskly steaming (not boiling). Steep for 3 minutes. For best taste, do not over steep. This high quality green tea can be infused twice and it will still maintain a wonderful flavor.
To prepare Hojicha, we recommend using a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewing methods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup.
Hojicha Caffeine Content
Hojicha is very low in caffeine.
Hojicha Benefits

More About Hojicha
Unlike other types of Japanese tea, Hojicha is lightly roasted. This turns the tea leaves a light brown color, somewhat similar in appearance to a black tea. Hojicha is low in caffeine, with a medium body and a warm, nutty flavor with a hint of natural sweetness. Because of its low caffeine content and mild taste, in Japan Hojicha is especially popular among children and the elderly.
Our Hojicha is sourced from Shizuoka, Japan. It is a smooth and satisfying tea with toasty and nutty notes, and brews up a beautiful caramel color. It’s a great tea to enjoy on a chilly afternoon. If you enjoy Hojicha, be sure to also check out our Kukicha green tea, which is a similar, unroasted version of this tea.
