Product Description:

Organic Hojicha is made by roasting bancha leaves and twigs over charcoals which gives it an earthy aroma and a toasted and nutty flavor like Genmaicha. 

Taste similarly like Kukicha, our high quality Organic Hojicha is low in caffeine and is a wonderful alternative for tea enthusiast who likes to have a decaffeinated choice. The roasting or baking process removes much of the caffeine.

Especially popular among children due to its clear, reddish brown color liquid, and smoky toasted fragrance and flavor.

Tea Plantation:

Organic Hojicha is produced by the Nagata Family who unlike most farmers was the first to produce Organic Tea in Japan. Instead of using fertilizers, chemical, animal maure, herbicides or pesticides to fertilize their tea garden soil, the Nagatas have discovered new agricultural methods to nuture tea plants that produce tea twice as long a period of time and twice as powerful as their nutritious value.

The Nagata Family's passion, dedication and perservence to make the finest tea have really contributed to the organic community by giving us the opportunity to drink organic green tea at a affordable price.

Brewing Method:

Hojicha should be prepared with 1/2 cup of hot water at 80°C to 90°C (170°F to 190°F) and steeped 30 to 40 seconds. It should be noted that boiling water should not be used. 3g for every 6oz serving.
