Hojicha ほうじ茶

Uniquely Japanese, hojicha transforms green tea through the ancient art of roasting. Tea leaves, stems, and twigs are carefully roasted at high temperatures, creating a completely different character: warm, nutty, and naturally lower in caffeine. This traditional roasting process, called "hoji," gives the tea its distinctive reddish-brown color and toasty aroma that's comforting any time of day.

Unlike other green teas, hojicha's gentle roasted flavor makes it perfect for evening enjoyment and appeals even to those who typically prefer coffee. A deeply satisfying daily ritual; the roasted warmth carries you through the day without the caffeine intensity of coffee.

Hojicha retains powerful antioxidant compounds even after roasting. Hojicha contains catechins that work together with L-theanine to enhance the body's natural defense mechanisms and support immune cell activity. Hojicha is also rich in tannins that soothe the digestive tract and promote healthy gut bacteria balance, supporting digestion and overall wellness.

Certified organic, single-origin from Uji, Kyoto. Sourced directly from the farm.
