YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Hojicha Tea, Roasted green Tea, Low caffeine, JAS Certified Organic, Japanese Tea, 150g Bag

This Hojicha tea has a roasted, nutty, toasty, flavor with a touch of dark coco. Add honey for sweetness. Overall it's my favorite afternoon tea. True Japan quality tea.

Love this tea, drink it daily. I often put honey in my tea, but this tea has such great taste I do not have to mix it with anything. For the price, it is well worth it. Tastes great. I'll definitely buy more

Amazingly awesome Tea!

Hojicha tea from Uji, Japan, is something special and totally unique. Uji is known for producing some of the best teas around, and their Hojicha is no exception. What makes this tea stand out is the roasting process—it gives the leaves a warm, brown color and a toasty, nutty smell with just a hint of smokiness. When you sip it, you’ll notice how smooth and mellow it is, with flavors of toast, caramel, and even a bit of cocoa. It's super comforting and layered without being overpowering. Plus, because it’s low in caffeine, it's a great option if you're sensitive to caffeine or want a calming drink at night without worrying about staying up too late. You can enjoy Hojicha hot, which really brings out its warmth and richness, or iced if you're looking for something refreshing on a warm day. Some people even like to mix it with milk for a creamy, roasted latte vibe. Aside from how good it tastes, Hojicha is also packed with antioxidants, so it’s a healthy choice too. Whether you’re already into tea or just getting started, Hojicha from Uji is definitely worth checking out for its flavor and health benefits.

The quality of the tea itself is great, but I purchased this to enjoy a low caffeine green tea. This has a burnt earthy taste, that was just not green tea for me, so I switched to co2 caffeine extracted decafs. They are much more expensive than this tea, but taste wonderful. This tea is much better if you treat it like black tea, and add milk I will say, and it also did not give me anxiety like other green teas, so the caffein content must have been low as promised.

We love this tea! Low in caffeine and tastes great. I've bought several of these and intend to buy more as needed. This is a good price as well for organic tea. Hojicha is our favorite tea and this doesn't disappoint.

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI is my go–to brand. YAMASAN green tea products are 100% JONA & JAS Certified Organic (which means without pesticides or chemical fertilizers) YAMASAN carefully selects the finest quality organic green tea from Uji, Kyoto, Japan. To date, I have tried the two (2) 80g bags of their Sencha, but admittedly, I have yet to master brewing the Sencha – a work in progress. Moving to the Kukicha Twig Loose Leaf Green Tea with Matcha Powder, I LOVE IT! The Loose–Leaf Green is made of stems of Japanese green tea called “Gyokuro” which is known as high–quality (e.g., L–Thiane) tea. I find it to be very savory and provides a great sense of calm and mental clarity. Out of a sense of precaution, I purchased one (1) 100g bag on Nov. 10th, and on Nov. 17th, I purchase four (4) additional 100g bags. I am literally monitoring Amazon for the announcement of offering its member the 500g Bulk Bag. I learned that YAMASAN offers the 1KG bags Direct to consumers, but at very high shipping costs (which includes Customs clearance, etc.). Amazon, please expedite the effort of providing your member the bulk bag (which you offer for the Sencha?).

I recently started drinking hojicha and wanted to try the powder and the leaves to see what I prefer. Hojicha powder is definitely the winner. As a coffee drinker, I enjoy intense flavor and the powder offers that smoky bitter flavor I love. The leaves are much weaker. I even tried adding several more Tbsp to make it stronger, but it’s just not the same. This is a good option for people who are sensitive to caffeine. Hojicha is low in caffeine to begin with, but the leaves are an even better option for people who really want to watch their caffeine intake.
