YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Roasted Green Tea Hojicha, Japanese Green Tea Houjicha, Low caffeine, Roasted Aroma & Flavor, Japanese Tea,150g

This is a great quality Hojicha tea and I keep ordering it. It smells declining and tastes authentic.

Amazing product my son love it! The taste is unbelievable! The first time we tried it at Japan House in London ( a famous Japanese Restaurant) and since then we have it every morning with our breakfast its a very light tea not heavy to drink in the morning We usually matching with our salted breakfast. Amazing product! I wish they'll sell a big packet options.

This tea is subtle tasting and caffeine free, ideal after meals or closer to bed time. The amount contained in the pack is excellent value for the price.

After living in Japan for a few years it’s great to know I can still get seasonal teas like this in the UK! The sakura flavour not only comes from cherry blossom but also the leaves, so it might not be as floral as you expect if it’s your first time trying it. If you like traditional Japanese sweets though, you’ll definitely like this! Takes me back to spring in Japan 🌸

I believe this is a very good quality green tea - it has the sediment at the bottom. I feel better from drinking it already. It looks very very green when brewed, and it brews faster than my other green teas I noticed. However - it loses a star for not many Sakura petals and the taste does not come through much. The expiry date has 11 months to spare - I better get drinking! I feel this date could be longer really as it’s very expensive at £12.99 for 100g, however I believe this is due to the green tea leaves being a superior quality compared to most.

Wonderful sakura infusion in a high quality shensha tea

Didn’t really know what to expect but I wasn’t a fan of the flavour.

First tried this type of tea in a ramen house in London and my girlfriend loved it she wanted me to buy it for her. Now every time I make her a cup I make one for myself too as I am addicted.

I am a fan of Japanese teas of the less stratospheric variety. I enjoy drinking genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice mixed in it) hojicha (roasted green tea) and kukicha (kind of sticks and stems from the tea plant.) These are flavourful, not as caffeinated as regular black tea, and some such as genmaicha are anti-oxident and anti-inflammatory. I purchased this brand of hojicha after not having any of that kind of tea in the pantry for a couple of years. I was attracted by its being organic, and of a trustworthy brand. I like it, and have at least one cup a day every day in the afternoon, and maybe an additional cup with dinner. It needs to be made properly, so follow the instructions on the bag to the letter. I use a "tea egg" or "tea ball" in my cup to make the tea. My wife uses a tea strainer. Good luck.

This Hojicha tea has a roasted, nutty, toasty, flavor with a touch of dark coco. Add honey for sweetness. Overall it's my favorite afternoon tea. True Japan quality tea.

Hojica. Darker than the usual Oolong. Always fresh. Doesn’t stop giving until you recycle it. Oozes flavor, color, in seconds when steeping. Steeper than death. Deep taste that owns me. Very impressed by Japanese culinary products in general. Probably not for the high mountain folks, but I like almost any hue of green.

Japanese visitors approved. The roasted scent and taste was a wonderful reminder of roasted tea back in Japan. Would buy again.

I love it! My fave tea now! You can taste that it is roasted green tea indeed!.
