HOJICHA

Cultivar: Yabukita
Origin: Kyushu, Japan
About This Tea
This hojicha comes from Kyushu, Japan, a region known for its diverse tea production and strong presence in roasted green teas. Unlike fresh green teas, hojicha is roasted after processing, transforming the leaf’s character from green and vegetal to warm and aromatic.
Made primarily from tea stems, this hojicha develops a lighter, smoother profile with reduced bitterness and lower caffeine compared to leaf-based green teas. The dark roast further deepens its character, bringing forward notes of toast, caramel, and gentle smokiness.
The roasting process reduces grassy qualities and highlights warmth and comfort, making it suitable for everyday drinking, especially in the evening or after meals.
