Hojicha is roasted green tea beloved for its nutty, cocoa-like flavor profile. To make this tea, our farm partner slowly roasted sencha over charcoal. Due to the high temperatures used in this process and because of the inclusion of twigs and stems, hojicha is naturally low in caffeine.

I was looking for organic hojicha and came across Paru. I’m so glad I did! I generally like hojicha for its roasty toasty comforting profile. I’m impressed by the quality and flavor of Paru’s tea. I currently am only drinking low caffeine teas and this hojicha is wonderful since I miss drinking black(red) tea. Hojicha gives me that same cozy experience, but with a flavor unique and wonderful of its own. When I drink this tea at work I can re-steep many times and still enjoy it. Very happy with my purchase.

Hojicha

I generally enjoy green and black teas, so this roasted green variant fused the best of the vegetal flavor of green with the robust earthiness of a black tea. I would recommend to any who are interested in a flavor between these poles. I appreciate the Paru team for pointing out this flavor as a challenge to what I am typically used to.
