YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Hojicha Tea, Roasted green Tea, Low caffeine, JAS Certified Organic, Japanese Tea, 150g Bag

This Hojicha tea has a roasted, nutty, toasty, flavor with a touch of dark coco. Add honey for sweetness. Overall it's my favorite afternoon tea. True Japan quality tea.

Hojica. Darker than the usual Oolong. Always fresh. Doesn’t stop giving until you recycle it. Oozes flavor, color, in seconds when steeping. Steeper than death. Deep taste that owns me. Very impressed by Japanese culinary products in general. Probably not for the high mountain folks, but I like almost any hue of green.

An acquired earthy taste, but I love it. Was very fresh too. I get a bag monthly

Love this tea, drink it daily. I often put honey in my tea, but this tea has such great taste I do not have to mix it with anything. For the price, it is well worth it. Tastes great. I'll definitely buy more

The quality of the tea itself is great, but I purchased this to enjoy a low caffeine green tea. This has a burnt earthy taste, that was just not green tea for me, so I switched to co2 caffeine extracted decafs. They are much more expensive than this tea, but taste wonderful. This tea is much better if you treat it like black tea, and add milk I will say, and it also did not give me anxiety like other green teas, so the caffein content must have been low as promised.

Hojicha tea from Uji, Japan, is something special and totally unique. Uji is known for producing some of the best teas around, and their Hojicha is no exception. What makes this tea stand out is the roasting process—it gives the leaves a warm, brown color and a toasty, nutty smell with just a hint of smokiness. When you sip it, you’ll notice how smooth and mellow it is, with flavors of toast, caramel, and even a bit of cocoa. It's super comforting and layered without being overpowering. Plus, because it’s low in caffeine, it's a great option if you're sensitive to caffeine or want a calming drink at night without worrying about staying up too late. You can enjoy Hojicha hot, which really brings out its warmth and richness, or iced if you're looking for something refreshing on a warm day. Some people even like to mix it with milk for a creamy, roasted latte vibe. Aside from how good it tastes, Hojicha is also packed with antioxidants, so it’s a healthy choice too. Whether you’re already into tea or just getting started, Hojicha from Uji is definitely worth checking out for its flavor and health benefits.

This is an excellent Hojicha! I’m becoming Toshiro Mifune!

Love the nutty flavor.

I am a fan of Japanese teas of the less stratospheric variety. I enjoy drinking genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice mixed in it) hojicha (roasted green tea) and kukicha (kind of sticks and stems from the tea plant.) These are flavourful, not as caffeinated as regular black tea, and some such as genmaicha are anti-oxident and anti-inflammatory. I purchased this brand of hojicha after not having any of that kind of tea in the pantry for a couple of years. I was attracted by its being organic, and of a trustworthy brand. I like it, and have at least one cup a day every day in the afternoon, and maybe an additional cup with dinner. It needs to be made properly, so follow the instructions on the bag to the letter. I use a "tea egg" or "tea ball" in my cup to make the tea. My wife uses a tea strainer. Good luck.

This is a great quality Hojicha tea and I keep ordering it. It smells declining and tastes authentic.

Amazing product my son love it! The taste is unbelievable! The first time we tried it at Japan House in London ( a famous Japanese Restaurant) and since then we have it every morning with our breakfast its a very light tea not heavy to drink in the morning We usually matching with our salted breakfast. Amazing product! I wish they'll sell a big packet options.

Japanese visitors approved. The roasted scent and taste was a wonderful reminder of roasted tea back in Japan. Would buy again.

I love it! My fave tea now! You can taste that it is roasted green tea indeed!.
