Premium Yame Hōjicha

Hojicha is a unique Japanese green tea that’s gently roasted to create a toasty, comforting flavor. Our JAS-certified Organic Hojicha powder comes from Yame, Fukuoka, a region renowned for producing some of Japan’s finest teas, with a naturally nutty flavour profile.

Made from carefully selected organic tea leaves and stems, this hojicha is roasted to develop its signature rich, full-bodied flavor- with pronounced nutty and cacao notes. Hojicha is also naturally lower in caffeine, making it a deeply satisfying choice any time of day.

Our powdered hojicha offers easy preparation- simply whisk it like matcha or stir it into 80c water to enjoy as a tea. Our hojicha is rich and roasty, meaning it is perfect for crafting creamy hojicha lattes, comforting hot teas or indulgent desserts. It’s a versatile tea that delivers warmth, natural sweetness, and deep earthiness in every cup.

Perfect for those new to hojicha or anyone seeking a cosy, organic alternative to traditional green teas.
