ROASTED GREEN TEA: Hoji-Genmaicha, Japan

Hoji-Genmaicha
Roasted green tea, Japan

Flavour: charred wood, caramelised milk, malt ~ light-bodied, low caffeine
Hoji-Genmaicha is a blend of hojicha (roasted green tea) and roasted mochi brown rice. After harvest, leaves are steamed, rolled, dried and roasted, then blended with the roasted rice.

The infused tea’s sweet and smokey fragrance draws you in. It is light in body with a soft mouthfeel and delicious notes of charred wood, caramlised milk roasted nuts, toffee and rice bubbles. Its caffeine content is very low. 

This June 2025 harvest is grown and crafted by Obubu Tea Farm, Kyoto, Japan - an agricultural social venture with a strong focus on high quality tea, community contribution and tea education.

On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups

200 grams - 133 cups
