About the Product

Discover the comforting character of Japanese roasted green tea with Hojicha Roasted Green Tea Powder from Isshiki. Unlike traditional green teas that are primarily steamed or otherwise heated to preserve their green colour, hojicha undergoes an additional roasting process that transforms the leaves into a warm, aromatic tea with distinctive toasted, nutty and caramel-like notes.

This roasting process gives hojicha its characteristic brown colour and mellow flavour, creating a drinking experience that feels quite different from the grassy or vegetal qualities often associated with matcha. The result is a smooth, approachable tea that can be enjoyed on its own or combined with milk for a rich, comforting latte.

Hojicha is traditionally enjoyed throughout Japan, often served after meals or during quieter moments of the day. It generally contains less caffeine than many conventional green teas, although the actual amount depends on the tea leaves, processing and preparation. For those looking to moderate their caffeine intake without giving up the pleasure of a flavourful tea, hojicha can be an appealing alternative.

Isshiki's finely powdered hojicha makes preparation particularly convenient. Simply whisk the powder into warm water for a traditional-style drink, combine it with chilled water and ice for a refreshing alternative, or blend it with your favourite milk for a creamy roasted tea latte. Each 30g pouch provides approximately 20–30 servings, depending on your preferred strength.

The Warmth of Japanese Roasted Tea

Hojicha has a distinctive place within Japanese tea culture. While many green teas are appreciated for their fresh, vegetal flavours, hojicha offers something warmer and more comforting. Roasting transforms the tea's aroma and flavour, producing toasted, nutty characteristics with a gentle sweetness reminiscent of caramel.

This mellow profile makes hojicha particularly versatile. Prepared simply with water, it offers an uncomplicated roasted tea experience, while its deeper flavour also pairs beautifully with milk or plant-based alternatives. Its naturally occurring caffeine is generally lower than that of many other green teas, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a gentler tea experience.

There is also something appealing about the simplicity of its preparation. Whether enjoyed as a warm drink after a meal or a chilled latte on a sunny afternoon, hojicha encourages a few moments of enjoyment without unnecessary complexity.
