Collection: Hojicha roasted green tea

Like genmaicha, hojicha was created by the Japanese to "recycle" sencha leaves that had lost their freshness. The leaves and stems are roasted to produce a tasty brown tea low in theine. Like matcha, it is also available in powder form, to be enjoyed as a hot or cold latte.

Find out more about Hojicha tea

Le thé Hojicha est un type de thé vert japonais qui se distingue par sa méthode de préparation unique. Contrairement aux thés verts traditionnels, ces feuilles sont grillées plutôt qu'infusées à la vapeur, ce qui leur donne une couleur brunâtre et une saveur douce, noisettée et légèrement fumée. Cette torréfaction réduit également la quantité de caféine, ce qui le rend une option idéale pour ceux qui cherchent une boisson plus douce, notamment en soirée.

Hojicha is often made from bancha (tea with large, ripe leaves) or sencha green teas, which are roasted at high temperatures. This roasting process gives it a rich, comforting taste, perfect for accompanying meals or as a soothing beverage.

This tea is very popular in Japan, where it is drunk both hot and cold, and is often served after meals to aid digestion.

  • Select a quality Hojicha. You can find different varieties, from whole leaf Hojicha to powdered Hojicha (often used for preparations such as desserts).

  • Heat the water to around 80-90°C. As Hojicha is roasted, it doesn't need water as hot as other green teas such as Sencha.

  • Use about 250 ml of water for 1 teaspoon of Hojicha tea (about 2-3 g of leaves).

  • Laissez infuser le Hojicha pendant 1 à 2 minutes. En raison de la torréfaction, il libère rapidement ses arômes, et une infusion trop longue pourrait rendre le thé trop fort. Si vous aimez un goût plus intense, vous pouvez augmenter légèrement le temps d'infusion, mais attention à ne pas trop prolonger pour éviter l'amertume.

  • Remove the tea leaves using a sieve or tea strainer. Serve immediately in a mug.

  • Le thé peut être réinfusé une à deux fois. Pour chaque nouvelle infusion, réduisez légèrement le temps d'infusion (30 secondes à 1 minute de moins pour chaque infusion suivante).

  • Comme pour le matcha, vous pouvez aussi utiliser un fouet pour bien mélanger la poudre, que ce soit lors d’une cérémonie traditionnelle ou simplement pour un moment gourmand. Vous pouvez choisir le Hojicha en sachets pratiques ou en vrac dans une boîte pour plus de commodité.

Additional tips :

  • Ce thé peut également être servi froid en été pour une boisson rafraîchissante.
  • Vous pouvez adapter la quantité de thé et le temps d'infusion selon la teneur souhaitée.

Hojicha tea offers many health benefits thanks to its unique properties, resulting from its roasting and low caffeine content. Here are some of its key benefits:

  1. Improved digestion: The heat generated during roasting helps to calm and soothe the stomach, making Hojicha an excellent after-meal choice to aid digestion.
  2. Stress reduction: Being low in caffeine, Hojicha is milder than other green teas, making it an ideal soothing drink for people sensitive to caffeine, especially in the evening.
  3. Antioxidants: Although roasting reduces some of the antioxidants found in green teas, Hojicha still contains polyphenols and flavonoids, which help fight free radicals and protect the body against disease.
  4. Metabolic support: Like many green teas, Hojicha can boost metabolism and support weight loss by aiding digestion and promoting good blood circulation.
  5. Relaxing properties: L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea, promotes a relaxing effect and helps reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to a feeling of calm and serenity.

Hojicha tea is distinguished from other roasted teas mainly by its manufacturing process and its taste characteristics:

Method of preparation:

Hojicha is made from green tea (often bancha or sencha), which is roasted at high temperatures after harvesting. Other roasted teas, such as Genmaicha or Kamairi-cha, can also be roasted, but Hojicha is characterized by a longer roasting time, giving it smokier, nuttier aromas.

Taste:

Hojicha has sweet, roasted and caramelized flavors, with hints of smoke. Compared with other roasted teas such as Genmaicha (a blend of green tea and puffed rice), Hojicha has a more subtle taste, without the toasted rice notes. It is often sweeter and less herbaceous than other green teas.

Caffeine:

Due to the roasting process, Hojicha contains less caffeine than other roasted or unroasted green teas, making it an ideal beverage for those seeking to limit their caffeine intake, especially in the evening.

Type of tea used:

Hojicha is often made with bancha, a tea made from more mature leaves, while other roasted teas like Genmaicha use younger leaves, often sencha.

• Une sélection rigoureuse de Hojicha directement importée du Japon, choisie feuille par feuille pour garantir une torréfaction parfaite, un arôme intense et des notes naturellement caramélisées. Chaque lot est soigneusement évalué pour sa fraîcheur, sa couleur et sa saveur, afin de vous offrir un thé qui respecte le savoir-faire traditionnel japonais.

• Un savoir-faire japonais traditionnel, transformant le thé vert en un thé au caractère unique grâce à la torréfaction

Oui ! Le Hojicha, grâce à sa torréfaction douce et son goût légèrement caramélisé, se prête parfaitement à une préparation type latte. Vous pouvez le mélanger avec du lait chaud ou des alternatives végétales (amande, soja, avoine) pour obtenir une boisson crémeuse et réconfortante.

Pour un latte encore plus savoureux, vous pouvez légèrement sucrer avec du sirop d’érable ou du miel.
