Yamamotoyama Hojicha Green Tea 16-Count Tea Bags — Pack of 6, Low-Caffeine Toasted Flavor

Yamamotoyama Hojicha Green Tea is a gently roasted, low-caffeine green tea available as sixteen tea bags per pack, sold in a convenient six-pack for everyday brewing.

Hojicha is distinguished by leaves that are briefly roasted after processing, producing a toasted, warm flavor that differs from grassy green teas. This offering from Yamamotoyama places those roasted notes front and center while keeping caffeine levels lower than typical green teas, making it suitable for later-day sipping or pairing with meals. The six-pack format supplies multiple weeks of tea for solo drinkers or a household and is often shipped in packaging that may vary.

What flavor and aroma can I expect from Yamamotoyama Hojicha?

You’ll notice a toasty, slightly nutty profile with mild sweetness and almost no astringency. The roasting softens the vegetal edge of green tea and brings warm, cocoa-like and caramelized grain notes to the cup.

• Roasted, warm aroma with light nuttiness
• Low astringency—smooth mouthfeel
• Subtle caramel and cocoa undertones
• Clean finish that pairs well with food

How do I brew a cup for the best taste?

Brew hojicha with near-boiling water for a short steep to extract its roasted character without bitterness. Adjust steep time to your taste—shorter for lighter flavor, longer for richer roast notes.

• Water temperature: 175–205°F (room to near-boil depending on preference)
• Steep 30–60 seconds for a mild cup, up to 90 seconds for fuller flavor
• Use one tea bag per 8–12 oz cup
• Reuse the same bag once for a lighter second infusion

Is this tea suitable for evening drinking and food pairing?

Because hojicha contains less caffeine than many green teas, it’s often chosen for evening enjoyment or after-dinner relaxation. Its toasty notes complement a wide range of dishes, from savory meals to light desserts.

• Lower caffeine makes it a preferred evening option
• Pairs well with grilled or roasted foods
• Works nicely with milky desserts and mild cheeses
• Also good chilled as an iced tea to highlight roasted flavor

Packaging may vary depending on shipment, but each unit contains 16 individually portioned tea bags; this product is sold as a pack of six. The compact tea bags are practical for travel, work, or keeping in your kitchen for everyday preparation.

Who is this for? Yamamotoyama Hojicha is ideal for people who enjoy a roast-forward green tea with low caffeine—tea drinkers looking for a smooth, warm cup in the evening, cooks seeking a complementary beverage for meals, or anyone who values convenience and consistent flavor from individually bagged servings. It also suits households and offices needing a multi-pack supply.
