Hojicha - A low caffeine alternative to coffee with a toasty flavour.
"A rich nutty/roasted flavour, this tea is reputed to be low caffeine, but still gives me a little pick-me-up" (Duncan)
Typically found in loose leaf form, this is a powder version. Drink on its own, make a latte or use in baking.
This Hojicha Powder:
- Is medium roasted and has a pleasant warm and nutty aroma.
- Is made from ground down roasted green tea leaves picked in the 2024 First Harvest in Yame Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan
- Is perfect to drink on its own, with milk or for cooking purposes.
ABOUT HOJICHA:
- Is Roasted Green Tea and this makes it quite different to other Japanese Green Tea which are mostly steamed.
- The roasting process has a decaffeinating effect on the leaves, making Hojicha a low-caffeine alternative for tea enthusiasts or as a coffee replacement.
- The roasting process also changes the flavour of the tea. With a nutty taste, Hojicha is a unique tea in that it has a “roast” flavour that no other tea has.Interestingly enough, this flavour makes Hojicha taste quite a bit like freshly roasted coffee.

HOME COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING:
- Being as eco-friendly as possible is so important to us which is why all of our tea comes in 100% Plastic Free Home Compostable Packaging.
- The triple barrier packaging of our tea pouches are ideal for storing Matcha as it locks in freshness and protects it from exposure to air, heat and light that can make Matcha appear dull and bitter.
- Econic® packaging is made from three compostable films derived from sustainably-produced wood pulp and GM-free corn sources.
- Each film has been certified to the European and American commercial compostability standards (EN 13432 and ASTM4600) and either the European or Australian home compostable standards: OK Compost Home or AS5810.
- You can put your used Econic® bags in your own home compost or worm farm, containing heat, water, oxygen, soil and micro-organisms.
- Compost trials have shown that Econic® bags can break down into small fragments in as little as 16 weeks.
- Tip - cutting the bag down into smaller pieces before putting in your compost allows it to break down quicker. Our labels are also 100% home compostable so you do not need to remove them prior to composting.
