When my kid left for college, they left behind an opened bag of Ocha & Co. Organic Japanese Hojicha Green Tea that had been gifted to them by some friends from Japan. I ran out of my usual herbal tea and thought I'd try the Ocha & Co green tea. I couldn't believe how delicious it was! Very delicate and subtle flavor and no matter how long I steep it, it never tastes over-brewed or bitter like other teas. It's green tea perfection. I'm giving a bag away to my best friend and ordering another bag for myself right now. This is my go-to tea from here on out that I will *always* have on hand. Now I drink it daily and always have something special to serve to guests. Thank you!
It’s simply the best Sencha tea I have ever had (and I’ve had a lot).
Hojicha is my new favorite morning beverage. I recently stopped drinking green tea due to certain dietary restrictions prohibiting caffeine and having Hojicha as an alternative delicious tea to sit in ritual with helped a lot! I love the lightly smoky flavor and yet I can’t help but taste a little bit of sweetness there too. The smell is so pleasant.
I researched low caffeine tea options and found the holicha tea option. Reviews were pretty good so I tried it out. This tea is on the extreme side of "earthy" for my taste. Even sweetened, which I do not normally do, it was not tolerable to my taste buds. As reference, I drink macha in the morning, robust black tea and delicate green teas during the day. Hojicha was just not my cup of tea.
Hello Dennis,
Hojicha, unlike regular green tea is a roasted green tea with a slightly smoky flavor. It is not for everyone. I noticed that you have ordered over 10 times with us so some of our other teas are to your liking. Thank you for being a valued customer.
I drink this every night before going to bed. It makes your stomach really comfortable!
