Hojicha (焙じ茶) is a comforting Japanese roasted green tea known for its warm, nutty aroma and naturally smooth taste. Unlike regular green tea, hojicha is roasted at high temperatures, giving it a beautiful amber colour with notes of roasted nuts, caramel, and cocoa — gentle, toasty, and never bitter.
