About This Tea
What does Hojicha taste like?
This organic Hojicha offers a distinctively warm and comforting experience. Its golden-brown infusion carries a delightful aroma of freshly baked bread, roasted grains, and toasted oak, with subtle hi. It leans roasted, nutty and caramel.
How should I brew Hojicha?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Hojicha come from?
Grown in Japan. The leaves got a medium roast after picking.
How much does Hojicha cost?
Starts at $18.00 from Dobrá Tea, or about $0.36/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.16 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
