Organic Hojicha - Softly Roasted and Low Caffeine

• Made with organic tea from Tsuno, Miyazaki, slowly roasted at low temperature to bring out gentle sweetness rather than strong smokiness. 
• Smooth, rounded flavour with very little bitterness, easy to brew with boiling water and forgiving even if steeped a bit longer. 
• Naturally low in caffeine compared to standard green tea, ideal for evening, after meals, or for those who prefer a softer, relaxing tea. 
• Loose leaf is convenient as an everyday Japanese tea and attractive as a thoughtful, easy-to-enjoy gift. 

This hojicha is carefully roasted so that the leaf turns a warm brown and releases a fragrant, toasty aroma with hints of caramel and roasted nuts, while still keeping a clean, light finish. The low-temperature roast gives depth without harshness, resulting in a cup that feels comforting and mellow from the first sip. 

Because hojicha is made from green tea that has been roasted, much of the bitterness and a significant part of the caffeine are reduced, making it one of the most approachable Japanese teas for children, elders, and anyone sensitive to caffeine. It is easy to pair with both Japanese and Western sweets, evening meals, or as a calming, non-stimulating drink before bed. 

On a page of low-caffeine options, this hojicha can sit alongside genmaicha as the “deeply roasted” choice: where genmaicha offers nutty rice sweetness and a golden cup, hojicha brings a darker color, richer roast aroma, and an equally gentle, easy-drinking character.
