Hojicha Tea 1.5oz

What is Adagio Teas Hojicha Tea 1.5oz?

Adagio Teas Hojicha Tea 1.5oz is a premium roasted Japanese green tea made from bancha leaves carefully heated to develop a warm, amber hue and a distinctive smoky-sweet aroma. Unlike traditional green teas, hojicha undergoes a roasting process that reduces bitterness and caffeine content, resulting in a smooth, mellow cup with notes of caramel, nuttiness, and toasted grain. This 1.5oz package from Adagio Teas delivers approximately 15-20 servings, making it ideal for sampling or daily enjoyment. Sourced for quality and consistency, it’s a standout choice for tea lovers exploring Japanese tea culture beyond matcha or sencha.
