Hojicha

Hojicha is a uniquely roasted Japanese green tea known for its warm, toasty character and remarkably smooth finish. The roasting process transforms the tea's flavor, creating comforting notes of roasted nuts, caramel, toasted grain, and a hint of cocoa while reducing the grassy qualities found in many green teas. Its naturally mellow profile and lower caffeine content make it an excellent choice for afternoon or evening enjoyment.

For the best cup, steep Hojicha in water heated to 195–205°F for 1 to 3 minutes to bring out its rich roasted aroma without introducing bitterness. It can be enjoyed hot for a cozy, full-bodied experience or served over ice for a refreshing twist. Hojicha also makes an exceptional latte, pairing beautifully with milk or milk alternatives to create a creamy, naturally sweet beverage with deep roasted flavor.
