Hojicha Tea 100g

Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea grown in Australia, traditionally made by slowly roasting bancha or sencha leaves over high heat. The roasting process transforms the leaf, creating a warm, toasty aroma with notes of caramel, wood, and gentle smoke. Unlike fresh green teas, Hojicha is smooth, low in bitterness, and naturally lower in caffeine due to the roasting.

The Story of Hojicha:

Hojicha was first created in Kyoto in the early 20th century, when tea merchants began roasting leftover green tea leaves and stems to prevent waste. What began as resourcefulness became beloved tradition. The roasting reduced astringency and caffeine, making it suitable for children, elders, and evening drinking.

Ingredients: Roasted Japanese green tea leaf (naturally contains lower caffeine due to roasting).

Dose: Steep 1 teaspoon per cup of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Enjoy as is.

Therapy: Hojicha retains the antioxidant polyphenols of green tea in a gentler form, while its roasted nature makes it soothing to digestion and calming to the nervous system. Its naturally lower caffeine content makes it ideal for the afternoon or evening.
