How to Make Hojicha Syrup

Our roasted green tea, known as hojicha (ほうじ茶), is crafted from freshly harvested premium green tea carefully roasted in porcelain over charcoal to maximize flavor while retaining more catechins than typical hojicha on the market. With lower caffeine and a smoother, less bitter taste compared to steamed green tea, it is an ideal choice for evening relaxation and is gentle enough for kids and pregnant women. Cultivated using the Chagusaba method in nutrient-rich sugarcane soil, this loose-leaf authentic Japanese roasted green tea, made from the Yabukita cultivar, also pairs beautifully with oily foods. Each eco-friendly resealable package contains 3.5 oz (100g) of tea, enough to steep 30–40 comforting cups.

This special tea set features three traditional Japanese teas, each offering a unique and satisfying experience. Hojicha is made by roasting Bancha leaves at high temperatures, resulting in a reddish-brown tea with a rich umami flavor and a warm, toasty aroma. Genmaicha combines green tea with roasted brown rice, creating a nutty, aromatic flavor that is both comforting and ideal for enjoying between meals.

The set also includes Genmai Matcha, crafted using premium green tea grown in nutrient-rich sugarcane soil in Japan. Thanks to this special soil, the tea offers an award-winning aroma, a smooth and gentle flavor, and significantly less bitterness and astringency, providing a refreshing and healthful drinking experience.
