Try a small size—about three servings—of our Hojicha green tea. Click here to order regular retail sizes. This roasted green tea is extremely popular in Japan, and increasingly so in the West. Made from bancha tea stems and leaves, it’s lower in caffeine (due to the lower proportion of leaves) with a deep nutty taste, and it pairs well with many cuisines.
