Originally crafted in Kyoto nearly a century ago, hojicha is a uniquely soothing Japanese tea distinguished by its traditional roasting process. Instead of being steamed like most Japanese green teas, the leaves are roasted at high heat in a porcelain pot over charcoal. This gentle yet intense roasting transforms the leaves into a beautiful reddish‑brown hue and creates a flavour profile that is lightly toasted, nutty, sweet, and subtly caramel‑like.
Open the bag and you’re greeted with an aroma reminiscent of toasted rice — warm, sweet, dark, and delicately floral. The roasting process also naturally lowers the caffeine content, making hojicha a beloved after‑dinner tea and a perfect choice for unwinding in the evening.
With its mild, comforting flavour and smooth, easy‑drinking character, hojicha pairs effortlessly with any moment of the day. It’s a simple, grounding brew that brings warmth, balance, and quiet pleasure to every cup.
