Single-Origin Hojicha

Maiasa’s Hojicha is a premium roasted stem tea offering a delicate umami taste, natural sweetness, and subtle caramel aftertaste. Sourced from our green tea plants in the Sōraku District, the tea is meticulously produced using the traditional method of sand roasting. This process not only enhances its aromatic profile with a fragrant roasted essence but also gives it a smooth, subtle caramel-like sweetness. Renowned for its soothing qualities, Hojicha strikes a perfect balance with comforting warmth from its roasted notes and a gentle, lingering sweetness on the palate. It is a caffeine free tea.

Our Hojicha is exclusively crafted from the youngest and freshest leaves of the first flush (harvest). After de-stemming and de-veining, the stems undergo the roasting process that brings out their unique flavour.

How to use

To prepare a serving, use 5 grams of tea. Place the stems in your preferred brewing vessel and pour 200 ml of hot water at 90°C – 100°C over them in circular motions. Steep the tea for approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute. For a sweeter umami profile, consider using water at a slightly lower temperature, around 80°C – 90°C. Enjoy both hot and cold – it suits this tea very well to serve once cooled, over ice. A single serving can be brewed multiple times to savour different sweet and roast-y notes with each cup.
