Matcha vs Hojicha: what is the difference?
Matcha and hojicha are both Japanese teas but very different in taste, caffeine, and purpose.
Matcha is bright green, higher in caffeine, and has a rich umami flavour. It is best for focus, energy, and morning rituals.
Hojicha is roasted, low in caffeine, and has a warm nutty flavour. It is best for relaxation, evenings, and calming moments.
In simple terms: matcha gives energy and focus, hojicha gives calm and relaxation.

Absolutely love this hojicha. The roasted flavor is rich and smooth without any bitterness, and it has such a comforting, cozy taste. It's become my go-to evening drink when I want something warm and relaxing.
This is one of the best hojichas I've tried. The roasted notes are beautifully balanced, smooth, and never bitter.
Great quality tea and fast shipping. The flavor is incredibly smooth with no bitterness at all.
Very impressed with the quality and how quickly my order arrived. The taste is smooth, rich and not bitter whatsoever. I'll definitely be ordering again.
The flavor is exceptionally smooth with a lovely roasted aroma and no bitterness whatsoever.
I wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first time trying hojicha but I ended up loving it. The tea arrived quickly and the quality was great right out of the package. The flavor is smooth, warm and lightly roasted without being overpowering. What I appreciate most is that there's no bitter aftertaste which I've experienced with other teas before. It's become part of my evening routine and I find myself reaching for it almost every day. Would definitely buy again!
Great!
Great quality tea and good customer service. Overall, a really positive experience.
