Slow down without giving up the ritual with LAKA® HOJICHA™, a premium Japanese roasted green tea with a naturally smooth, toasty, nutty and caramel-like flavor.
Unlike traditional green tea or matcha, hojicha is roasted, creating its distinctive warm flavor while substantially reducing its caffeine content. LAKA's Hojicha contains approximately 7–10 mg of caffeine per cup, making it particularly well suited to afternoons, evenings or anyone who enjoys tea but prefers a lower-caffeine option.
LAKA uses 100% pure hojicha powder, allowing you to prepare it much like matcha. Whisk it into hot water for a simple roasted green tea or combine it with milk for a creamy hojicha latte. Because the whole tea is powdered, there's no tea bag or steeping required.
Hojicha naturally contains compounds found in green tea, including L-theanine, catechins and polyphenols, while its roasting process gives it a noticeably different character from the fresh, grassy flavor associated with matcha.
For anyone looking for Japanese hojicha, roasted green tea or a low-caffeine alternative to matcha and coffee, LAKA Hojicha offers an easy daily ritual with a rich, comforting flavor.
