Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea known for its warm, nutty flavor and low caffeine content — making it a favorite for evening tea rituals. Unlike most green teas that are steamed, Hojicha is crafted through a unique roasting process that brings out sweet, toasty notes and a soft reddish hue.
This tea’s origins trace back to 1920s Kyoto, when a tea master began roasting green tea leaves over charcoal in porcelain pots. The result was a mellow, aromatic brew that quickly became a staple in Japanese households.
Our Hojicha is made from third-flush Bancha leaves, known as Sanbancha. The leaves are first steamed and dried like Sencha, then gently roasted over low heat. This process reduces bitterness, removes most of the caffeine, and highlights Hojicha’s signature smooth, comforting flavor.
