Hojicha (ho-jee-cha) and Genmaicha (g-en-my-cha) are perfect introductory teas if you are not used to earthy vegetal green tea flavor.

Hojicha is roasted green tea. Roasted tea leaves make a beautiful amber color tea when they are brewed.

We also offer Hojicha powder. The powder offers a more intense roasted aroma and rich body. Make a cup of Hojicha powder tea by mixing the powder with water and the real tea is enjoyable with no brewing time.

Genmaicha is also a traditional Japanese tea; Sencha tea and toasted brown rice are blended. The toasted brown rice adds a nutty flavor, which is the reason for its popularity.

We also offer Genmaicha in powder. Because it’s powder, you can enjoy the real Genmaicha with no brewing time.

Enjoy both teas by frothing them up with a milk frother, in the same way as Matcha–and enjoy the creamy rich mouthfeel.
