Hojicha

(30g)

Meet Hojicha: She is warm, toasty, and effortlessly cool. Roasted to perfection in small batches, our Hojicha powder is made from carefully selected tea leaves grown in Japan, offering a naturally low-caffeine alternative with a distinct flavor profile. Expect smooth, earthy notes with hints of caramel and a gentle, smoky finish.

What is Hojicha? Unlike matcha, which is made from finely ground green tea leaves, Hojicha is made by roasting those same leaves, stems, or twigs over high heat—transforming their flavor, color, and caffeine level. 

About the Farm:
Nestled in the mountains of Honyama, Shizuoka, this tea comes from a historic growing region known for its pristine natural environment and exceptional tea. Surrounded by the Abe River, lush mountains, and gentle morning and evening mist, the region’s unique climate creates ideal conditions for slow-growing tea leaves that develop a naturally sweet, smooth flavor with delicate umami and very little astringency. But great tea takes more than the right environment. Local farmers carefully select growing locations for each cultivar, tend to their tea gardens with intention, and refine every step of the harvesting and processing journey to bring out the leaves’ best qualities. From the mountain grown leaves to the careful steaming, blending, and finishing techniques, every detail contributes to a matcha that reflects both the character of the land and the craftsmanship behind it.
