From the plant to the roast: The origin of Hoji-Kukicha

Hoji-Kukicha, also known as "branch tea", is made from the stems and branches of the Camellia sinensis and is given its distinctive aroma through gentle roasting. This roasted Kukicha is a Japanese green tea with a deep, nutty aroma, a gentle smoky note and a reddish-brown color. This unique process creates a mild tea that is clearly different from varieties such as Sencha or Matcha due to its soft texture and characteristic taste.

A sweet and spicy treat with liquorice and nutmeg

Our Hoji-Kukicha offers a harmoniously sweet taste profile with a soft mouthfeel. The roasted Kukicha develops a mild, slightly nutty aroma, which is complemented by fine notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and a hint of gingerbread. A subtle licorice note rounds off the taste and makes our tea particularly multifaceted - ideal for anyone who appreciates gentle yet complex aromas in a Japanese green tea.

Ideal for the evening: gentle, low in caffeine and full of antioxidants

By processing stems and branches, our organic Hojikukicha is particularly low in caffeine and is therefore perfect for evening enjoyment or for those sensitive to caffeine. It is rich in antioxidants and contains valuable minerals such as calcium as well as calming amino acids such as L-theanine and GABA, which help to relax and reduce stress. Our roasted Kukicha combines mild enjoyment with health benefits.
