Houjicha contains theanine. With a refreshing taste, it goes well with a variety of meals, from Japanese to Western dishes, and refreshes your pallette. It has a light taste compared to coffee and regular tea, so you can drink lots! It is also recommended for keeping hydrated.

This hojicha is not caffeine-free, but rather moderately caffeinated (containing 20 mg per 100 ml). It does not have as high a caffeine content as gyokuro or matcha green tea, so it is ideal for those who want to refrain from caffeine, such as pregnant women and breastfeeding women, but who are not satisfied with decaf tea.

This high-quality domestically roasted Hojicha goes well with milk. The “Hojicha latte” is a popular drink among tea lovers. Simply heat milk in a pot, and add two Hojicha tea bags as you make it. If you like, you can add sugar, honey, or ginger if you want a warm, cinnamon-like flavor.

This Hojicha comes in a triangular tea bag that improves the extraction of the tea leaves. You can enjoy the delicious aroma and taste of the roast simply by adding hot water. It is easy to make and there is almost nothing to wash. Our tea comes from Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is made from tea leaves that are carefully cultivated on the summit of Shimoyama, where the air is clear and the water is delicious.
