Description
Simara Blends Japanese Hojicha starts where most green teas stop: the leaves are fire-roasted, a Japanese technique that trades grassiness for warmth and turns the cup a handsome reddish brown.
That roasting rewrites everything. Instead of vegetal sharpness you get toasted nuts, a wisp of smoke and a caramel-edged mellowness, here lightly sweetened with coconut sugar and ground fine for lattes. The roast also naturally lowers the caffeine, which is why hojicha has become Japan’s easy-going, any-hour brew — and why this blend makes such a persuasive evening latte.
Making a hojicha latte
- Add a heaped teaspoon (5g) to 150ml of your preferred milk
- Heat with a steam wand, in a saucepan or in the microwave
- Or work it into a paste with a splash of milk, then stir in the rest
- Try it over ice — the roasted notes hold up beautifully cold
Sourced from Japan
Simara sources this hojicha from Japan and blends it with just one other ingredient, coconut sugar. The 100g pouch delivers twenty serves of the toastiest corner of the green tea world — comfort in powder form, no barista required.

Frequently asked questions
What is hojicha?
Hojicha is a Japanese green tea with a twist: instead of staying green, the leaves are roasted over high heat. That extra step creates a warm, nutty, sometimes caramel-like aroma, a smooth mellow flavour with low bitterness, and a beautiful reddish-brown colour in the cup.
Does hojicha have less caffeine than other green teas?
Yes — the roasting process naturally reduces the caffeine content, which makes hojicha a calming choice, even in the evening.
How do I make a hojicha latte?
Add 1 heaped teaspoon (5g) to 150ml of milk and heat with a steam wand, saucepan or microwave — or make a paste with a splash of milk first, then stir in the rest. The blend is lightly sweetened with coconut sugar, so nothing else is needed.
What does Simara's hojicha taste like?
Gently smoky and mellow, with a warm, nutty aroma and natural sweetness drawn out by the light toasting — less grassy than standard green tea, comforting and refreshing at once.
How many serves are in the pack?
The 100g pack gives 20 serves at 5g each, sourced from Japan by Simara Blends. It is lovely straight, as a latte, iced or even in desserts.
