What Is Hojicha?

Hojicha (also spelled Houjicha) is a traditional Japanese roasted green tea known for its distinctive toasted flavor and smooth character.

While many green teas are steamed to preserve their fresh vegetal qualities, hojicha is created by roasting tea leaves, stems, and other tea parts at high temperatures. This roasting process transforms the tea’s flavor, producing a deeper aroma with notes often described as toasted, nutty, warm, and slightly caramel-like.

The result is a tea that feels familiar yet completely different from standard green tea — smoother, richer, and naturally comforting.

Enjoy a beautifully balanced tea experience:

Hojicha is loved because it offers depth without the bitterness that some people associate with stronger green teas.

What Makes Hojicha Special?

Roasted For A Unique Taste

The roasting process is what makes hojicha different.

Heat transforms the natural characteristics of green tea leaves, creating:

• Toasted flavors

This gives hojicha a flavor profile closer to roasted grains, nuts, and warm café beverages.

Hojicha is ideal for customers who enjoy the idea of matcha but prefer a warmer roasted flavor.
