Ingredients
Flavour Notes:
Aroma: Warm and toasty, with notes of roasted nuts, wood, and a gentle smokiness.
Flavour: Smooth and mellow, with caramelised sweetness, soft umami, and a subtle cocoa undertone.
Finish: Rounded and comforting, with lingering roasted depth and a clean, dry aftertaste.
Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled foods, savoury rice dishes, or lightly sweet desserts. Equally enjoyable hot or iced for daily sipping.
Origin Story:
Hojicha was first created in Kyoto in the 1920s, when tea merchants began roasting leftover green tea leaves, stems, and stalks over charcoal to preserve freshness and reduce waste. The gentle roasting transformed the tea’s character, softening bitterness and releasing its signature smoky, caramel-like aroma. What began as a clever innovation quickly became a beloved staple across Japan, valued for its smoothness, low caffeine content, and comforting warmth. Today, Hojicha remains a symbol of Japanese ingenuity — a tea that balances tradition with everyday ease, offering a roasted depth unlike any other green tea.
