Product specificity

This blend of first-harvest leaves and stems charcoal roasted hojicha features low bitterness and astringency. The fresh scent complements the refined sweetness of this tea.

Roasted over charcoal on ancient craft-based artisan

Charcoal roasted teas are sweeter and tastier than usual. The charcoal roasting method helps suppress caffeine and tannins. It results in a tea less astringent and bitter than Sencha.

Craftsmen consider the amount of smoke of the coal fire, the changes in the color of the tea leaves and the weather and humidity of the day to enhance this tea characteristics.

There is houjicha and then there's charcoal roasted houjicha

This has become my favourite tea of all time. I already was a massive fan of houjicha anything, but this one is hands down the best I've ever tried. The depth and the flavour are just unparalleled and high level. Wow!

My only request: please try to find a way to source organic teas somehow

Hello Sophia, thank you so much for this amazing review! We're so happy to hear that our hojicha stands out to you, I also love the roasted flavour. Yes, we will definitely take your request for organic teas into consideration and see if we can make it happen. Thank you for your support :)

Can you please give brewing information. Thanks.

Please, let me know how many grams, water temperature and brewing time. And the amour of brewing can be made.

The rating is not accurate because I am waiting for the above information.

Hi Me! Yes here are the instructions for Moegi: 3/4 teaspoons (~6g), 260 mL (8.79oz)90°C (194°F) of hot water and between 30 seconds to 1 minute - depending how you like your hojicha strong or light - (no wait time for second brew). Let me know if you have other questions. You can also email us directly. Have a nice day!

Wonderful afternoon tea

This tea is very smooth with complex toasty notes and no bitterness. It is mild enough for afternoon or evening use even for caffeine sensitive people. Served traditionally (clear and unsweetened) it is light with delightful layers of flavor. It also takes milk and sugar nicely. This is one of my new favorites, especially nice for days when I want tea later in the day!

Hi Sascha, thank you so much for your review.
We are delighted that you can enjoy hojicha throughout the day!
As you said, hojicha is low in caffeine so it doesn't disturb sleep.
I wish you a wonderful day!
