Hojicha is unlike any other green tea. Expertly crafted in Japan from premium tea leaves and stems our loose leaf Hojicha is gently roasted over charcoal—transforming the classic green tea into a rich, amber infusion with irresistible notes of toasted nuts, warm wood, and a subtle sweetness.

The result? A soothing, aromatic tea that’s both comforting and refreshing. With its signature reddish-brown hue and delicate smokiness, Hojicha is Japan’s favourite after-dinner tea—and your new go-to for winding down, focusing, or simply enjoying a moment of calm.
