I always look forward to my afternoon or early evening tea ritual. The Organic Hojicha is so mellow and earthy and flavorful. I love the beautiful color and aroma. The amount of caffeine is minimal, so I don't have to worry about not being able to fall asleep when it's time for bed. I've also made cold brew ice tea with it. I have a glass thermos with a strainer insert, and I put the tea in the strainer and fill it with cold water and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. It's perfect for lunch the next day.

This Hojicha loose leaf tea truly is a delightful, lightly sweet tea. I either brew for 2 minutes at a temperature of 180°F for a sweeter flavor or follow the instructions for a roasted warming cup, and I appreciate the complexity and variation I can bring ou with each new steep. It's a beautiful daily addition to my ritual of presence, and the highest quality tea I have tasted.

I have been drinking organic hojicha tea for many years. Recently my longtime supplier (a major tea supplier) stopped carrying the loose leaf. So i tried Ochoa. To my surprise, the Ochoa tea is far, far superior. I will be reordering.

I drink tea every day. It is something that is essential to my daily life. I've always bought a lot of tea every time I'm in Japan because I couldn't find a good tea that is reasonably priced. I'm so happy to find Ocha & Co. They offer great teas with reasonable prices. I think I'll be back soon!

Thanks for offering the low caffeine teas (Hojicha & Kukicha) so I can drink more of this wonderful premium teas day or night. I like to brew a large amount so i have it ready to drink hot or cold. Pictured is the brewed Kukicha tea which was the first tea I tried from you. Every new tea I try is a new experience.
