About the Producer
Storage & Care

Made from roasted green tea leaf stems, Kuki Hojicha has a rich, toasted aroma, without any bitterness. If you like Hojicha, then why not give Kuki Hojicha a try! Kuki Hojicha has a milder, sweeter flavour than regular Hojicha.

The roasting process removes a lot of the caffeine, making Kuki Hojicha an ideal tea for those wanting to reduce their caffeine intake. Enjoy it either hot or chilled, morning or night. Up to three pots of tea can be made with the same stems, with each pot bringing out a slightly different flavour.
