Hojicha Green Tea

A soothing roasted green tea from Nara Prefecture.

MATCHADO’s Hojicha is grown in Oku-Yamato, a mountainous region in Nara Prefecture where tea cultivation dates back over 1,200 years. This area—once known as Yamato—is the birthplace of Japanese tea, where the monk Kūkai first planted tea seeds brought from Tang-dynasty China. To this day, the misty mountains and dramatic temperature shifts of northern Nara create the ideal environment for producing rich, flavourful green tea.

Our Hojicha is roasted to perfection, transforming the tea leaves from green to deep brown and naturally lowering the caffeine content. The result is a beautifully nutty, slightly sweet tea that is easy on the body and calming for the soul.

Flavour notes: Roasted nuts, warm earth, subtle sweetness
Perfect with: Matcha brownies, vegan canelés, or after a hearty meal

Brewing Suggestion:

Place one tea bag in a cup. Add 200ml of boiling water and let it steep for 30 seconds before enjoying.

With a commitment to both environmental sustainability and the well-being of its consumers, this tea is produced without the use of pesticides fertilizers, ensuring a natural and pure experience. Each plant-based, biodegradable Yusando tea bag delivers full flavour without compromising the environment.
