Oi Ocha Hojicha Tea Bags

Ito En's Oi Ocha Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea, made from carefully selected tea leaves then heated to a high temperature to develop unique aromas. Unlike classic green teas, Hojicha (ほうじ茶) undergoes a roasting step that gives it a mild, warm, and slightly toasted flavor.

This manufacturing method results in a tea with a rich and pleasant taste, with notes reminiscent of toasted grains, dried fruits, and a soft finish on the palate. Less bitter than traditional green tea, Hojicha is highly appreciated in Japan for its comforting character and its ease of enjoyment.

An ideal Japanese tea hot or cold

Oi Ocha Hojicha tea bags make it easy to prepare Japanese tea daily. It can be enjoyed hot to fully appreciate its roasted aromas or prepared cold for a refreshing and light drink.

Thanks to its mild and balanced taste, Hojicha perfectly accompanies Japanese meals such as bentos, rice dishes, noodles, or Japanese desserts.
