Turning Japanese

Great taste but not very strong, I use it in a thermal flask and a strainer full gives me one small flask compared to 4 flasks per strainer with the Hojicha I bought back from Japan. Saying that I would buy again unless I was going to Japan

Delicious Hojicha

A delicious, comforting, and calming roasted green tea. Lovely flavours, slightly nutty and smoky. Beautifully packaged and sent with care. I’m very happy with this tea and will purchase again from Shi Bui.

Good flavour, good price

I've had hojicha before in Japan and this tastes equally good. I also like the simple classy packaging, and the price is excellent.

I discovered Hojicha on a recent trip to Japan, and was pleased to find a source here in the UK. It has a very nice, subtle flavour (when you get the brew time right!) and reminds me of Japan.

Sweet Sweet Roasted Umami

I have been looking for a decently priced hojicha. This was it. The tea has a nice roasted umami flavour that ends with a sweet after taste, especially in the later infusions. This is perfect for cold winter nights, especially because it only has a fraction of the caffeine that most teas have.

On a side note, the seller ran out of the wonderful plastic free tubes so they sent me a resealable, compostable 250g packet instead of the two 75g tubes I ordered. They even sent some sample teas and a small personal note to appologise. Quick delivery, good price, awesome customer service and amazing tea! There is nothing to complain about.
