Happy with Hojicha!
I like hojicha year round, iced or hot, because it has lower caffeine and lower acidity, thus it does not give me the jitters or upset my stomach. To me it has a very smooth and pleasant nutty flavor.

The perfect toasty pick-me-up
This Hojicha is my go-to when I need a little pick-me-up but want to avoid the full caffeine level of a black tea. It delivers just the right amount of toastiness and nuttiness, creating a beautifully balanced and comforting cup. It is incredibly smooth and provides the perfect, gentle energy boost for the afternoon!
