Hoji Genmai
Roasted Japanese green tea with toasted rice
Hoji-genmai builds on the foundation of our Hojicha Light, blending roasted green tea with toasted rice to create something even more comforting and complete.
This style brings together two traditions — the warmth of hojicha and the nutty, grounding character of genmaicha. The result is a tea that feels generous, familiar, and deeply satisfying.
If you’re looking for a tea that leans cozy, slightly savoury, and endlessly drinkable, this is an easy favourite.
Taste profile
Warm, nutty, and gently roasted. Expect notes of toasted rice, popcorn, light caramel, and soft wood.
The cup is smooth and rounded, with a subtle savoury edge and a clean, comforting finish.
How to enjoy
Hoji-Genmai is one of the most versatile teas in the lineup.
Brew it hot for a deeply cozy, almost snack-like experience — the toasted rice adds body and a satisfying, grainy warmth.
Iced, it becomes crisp and refreshing while still carrying those nutty, roasted notes.
It also pairs beautifully with food, especially baked goods or anything lightly sweet or savory.
Naturally low in caffeine, it’s perfect for afternoons, evenings, or easy, all-day sipping.
