Hoji-cha - Roasted Green Tea (100g)

Sayama Tea is one of Japan’s most celebrated tea traditions, renowned for its rich flavor and distinctive character. This premium hojicha is crafted by Hiraokaen, bringing together the depth of Sayama tea with the comforting warmth of traditional Japanese roasting techniques.
 
Crafted with Carefully Selected Tea Leaves and Stems
Unlike many hojicha teas, which are made primarily from leaves, Hiraokaen places special emphasis on selecting high-quality stems to create a richer and more flavorful tea. This approach results in a smooth, naturally sweet cup with a deep roasted aroma and a satisfying umami character, reminiscent of the famous Japanese Kaga Bocha style—a premium roasted tea traditionally made with carefully selected stems.
 
Smooth, Comforting, and Naturally Low in Caffeine
The roasting process transforms the tea’s character, creating inviting notes of toasted nuts, caramel, and warm grain while reducing bitterness and astringency. The result is an exceptionally smooth and easy-drinking tea that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
Because hojicha naturally contains less caffeine than most green teas—and significantly less than gyokuro or coffee—it is also a wonderful choice for the afternoon or evening when you want to relax and unwind.
Its clean, refreshing finish also makes it an excellent companion after a rich or hearty meal. The gentle roasted character helps cleanse the palate, leaving a pleasantly light and satisfying feeling.
 
Made with Passion by Hiraoka-en
Produced by Hiraokaen with passion and dedication, this tea reflects the craftsmanship and quality that have made Sayama tea beloved throughout Japan.
Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with desserts, Premium Hojicha offers a comforting and authentic taste of Japanese tea culture.
