Organic Hojicha
Some teas are energizing.
Others feel like a warm blanket on a cool evening.
Organic Hojicha belongs firmly to the second category.
Roasted, comforting, and naturally sweet, this traditional Japanese green tea offers a completely different experience from the bright, grassy character often associated with green tea. Gentle roasting transforms the leaves, creating a smooth and mellow cup with notes of warm wood, toasted grain, and soft caramel sweetness.
The result is a tea that feels instantly familiar.
Comforting without being heavy.
Rich without being overwhelming.
Whether enjoyed after dinner, during a quiet afternoon, or shared with friends on a rainy day, Hojicha has a way of making ordinary moments feel a little more peaceful.
Origin
This tea comes from Kirishima, Kagoshima, one of Japan's most respected tea-growing regions, located on the southern island of Kyushu.
Kirishima is known for its volcanic soils, mountain mist, and ideal growing conditions, which produce teas with exceptional softness and depth of flavor.
This particular batch is crafted from late-harvest Yabukita cultivar tea leaves, Japan's most celebrated tea variety. Harvesting later in the season allows the leaves to develop greater body and sweetness, creating an ideal foundation for roasting.
The result is a tea that reflects both the richness of its landscape and the craftsmanship of Japanese tea tradition.
How It Is Made
Unlike most Japanese green teas, which are celebrated for their fresh vegetal character, Hojicha undergoes a careful roasting process that completely transforms its flavour profile.
The late-harvest Yabukita leaves are gently roasted at approximately 200°F (93°C), developing warm caramelized notes while significantly reducing astringency.
This roasting process softens the tea's edges, creating a smoother, rounder cup with remarkable sweetness and almost no bitterness.
It also naturally lowers the tea's caffeine content, making Hojicha a popular choice throughout the day and into the evening.
The transformation is remarkable.
What begins as green tea becomes something altogether more comforting.
Taste Profile
Aroma
Warm wood, toasted grain, roasted nuts, and soft caramel sweetness.
Flavour
Smooth and mellow with notes of caramel, roasted barley, warm cedar, and subtle sweetness.
Finish
Clean, comforting, and gently lingering with a soft roasted warmth.

- Tea: 3g / 1 tbsp
- Water: 240ml / 1 cup

The higher brewing temperature allows the tea's roasted sweetness and full body to shine beautifully.
Why Tea Lovers Choose Hojicha

The roasting process creates a tea that feels approachable even to those new to green tea, while offering enough depth and complexity to satisfy seasoned tea drinkers.
Its naturally lower caffeine content makes it a favourite for afternoons, evenings, and moments when relaxation is the goal.

Organic Hojicha Powder
Some flavours feel familiar from the very first sip.
Warm, roasted, and quietly comforting, Organic Hojicha Powder brings together the richness of traditional Japanese tea with the versatility of a modern pantry staple. Finely milled from carefully roasted green tea leaves, it offers a smooth, earthy character balanced by gentle notes of toasted grain, caramel, and subtle sweetness.
Unlike brighter green tea powders, Hojicha Powder embraces warmth. The roasting process transforms the tea into something mellow and inviting, creating a flavour that feels equally at home in a morning latte, an afternoon treat, or your favourite baked recipe.
Whether whisked into a creamy latte or folded into cakes, cookies, and desserts, this tea brings depth, comfort, and unmistakable character to every creation.
Origin
This Organic Hojicha Powder is sourced from Harunocho, Isagawa, Shizuoka, Japan, a region renowned for producing some of the country's finest teas.
Nestled among rolling hills and lush tea fields, Shizuoka has long been considered the heart of Japanese tea cultivation. The region's clean mountain air, abundant rainfall, and rich growing conditions create teas celebrated for their purity, balance, and flavour.
After harvest, the leaves are carefully roasted and stone-milled into a fine powder, preserving the tea's natural sweetness and aromatic complexity while making it remarkably versatile.
The result is a tea that reflects the quiet craftsmanship and attention to detail that define Japanese tea culture.
How It Is Made
Organic Hojicha Powder begins as carefully selected green tea leaves that are gently roasted.
As the leaves roast, grassy notes soften and transform into warm flavours reminiscent of toasted grain, caramel, and roasted nuts. The roasting also naturally lowers the caffeine content, creating a tea that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
Once roasted, the leaves are finely milled into a silky powder that dissolves easily into liquids and blends beautifully into recipes.
This process allows you to enjoy the entire tea leaf while unlocking new culinary possibilities far beyond the teacup.

Organic Kirishima Hojicha Kukicha is that kind of tea.
Warm, toasty, and deeply comforting, this traditional Japanese roasted twig tea carries the quiet character of the mist-covered mountains of Kirishima in every cup. Crafted not from leaves, but from tender young tea twigs, it offers a softer, gentler expression of roasted green tea—smooth, calming, and beautifully grounding.
Each sip unfolds with notes of roasted barley, warm wood, and subtle brown sugar sweetness, creating a tea that feels less like stimulation and more like stillness.
It is the kind of tea for slow evenings, stormy nights, and moments when comfort matters most.
Origin
This tea is organically grown and handcrafted on the island of Kyushu, Japan, in the volcanic region of Kirishima—an area celebrated for its pristine mountain air, rich soil, and generations of tea craftsmanship.
The tea grows among cedar forests on land nourished by the volcanic soils of Sakurajima, one of Japan’s most active volcanoes. These mineral-rich soils contribute depth, softness, and remarkable balance to the tea.
Unlike traditional green teas made primarily from leaves, Kukicha is crafted using the tender stems and twigs of the tea plant. In this case, those twigs are gently roasted to create Hojicha Kukicha—a tea prized for its warmth, smoothness, and naturally low caffeine content.
Among the many teas of Japan, this remains one of the gentlest and most comforting.
How It Is Made
Kukicha begins with carefully selected young stems and twigs separated during tea production.
Rather than being discarded, these tender pieces are celebrated for their soft sweetness and smooth character.
For Hojicha Kukicha, the twigs are slowly roasted, transforming the tea completely. The roasting process lowers bitterness, softens grassy notes, and creates the warm toasted flavour Hojicha is known for.
As the tea roasts, it develops notes of roasted grain, warm cedar, and subtle caramel-like sweetness.
The result is a tea that feels comforting from the very first sip—smooth, mellow, and remarkably easy to drink.
Because the roasting naturally lowers caffeine content, it can be enjoyed throughout the day without overwhelming the senses.

Thai Hibiscus Blossoms
Some teas are subtle.
Others make an entrance.
Thai Hibiscus Blossoms do both.
With their deep ruby colour, striking whole flowers, and vibrant tart flavour, these beautiful blossoms create an infusion that is every bit as stunning as it is refreshing. As the flowers unfurl in hot water, they release a brilliant crimson liquor that feels as lively and inviting as it looks.
The flavour is bright and naturally tangy, reminiscent of cranberry, pomegranate, and red berries, balanced by a refreshing acidity that awakens the palate and leaves a clean, crisp finish.
Whether enjoyed steaming hot, poured over ice, or incorporated into creative cocktails and mocktails, hibiscus delivers a tea experience that is impossible to ignore.
Bold, beautiful, and endlessly versatile.
Origin
Our Thai Hibiscus Blossoms are carefully sourced from Thailand, where the warm tropical climate provides ideal growing conditions for producing vibrant, flavourful flowers.
The blossoms are harvested at peak maturity and gently dried to preserve their natural colour, aroma, and refreshing character.
Unlike finely cut herbal blends, these whole blossoms retain their visual beauty, creating a tea experience that begins long before the first sip.
Few herbal infusions are as visually captivating.
Even fewer taste this good.
How It Is Made
Hibiscus tea is crafted from the dried calyces of the hibiscus flower, which are naturally rich in colour and flavour.
After harvest, the blossoms are carefully dried to lock in their vibrant crimson hue and signature tartness.
No flavorings, colorings, or additives are needed.
The flowers themselves provide everything—the colour, the aroma, and the refreshing flavour that have made hibiscus a beloved beverage across cultures for generations.
The result is a pure herbal infusion that feels both refreshing and indulgent.

Organic Morimachi Genmaicha
Some teas wake you up.
Some help you exhale.
Organic Morimachi Genmaicha does both.
Comforting, toasty, and beautifully balanced, this traditional Japanese green tea blends bright steamed Sencha with roasted rice to create a cup that feels warm, familiar, and quietly restorative. It is the kind of tea that feels like coming home—simple, grounding, and deeply satisfying.
Each sip carries the freshness of green tea softened by the nutty warmth of roasted rice, creating a flavour that is both soothing and gently invigorating. It is smooth enough for slow mornings, calming enough for quiet evenings, and comforting enough to become part of your daily rhythm.
This is not a dramatic tea.
It is a dependable one.
And often, that matters more.
Origin & History
This batch of Organic Morimachi Genmaicha comes from the foothills of Mount Fuji, Japan, a region celebrated for its clean mountain air, fertile soil, and ideal growing conditions for exceptional green tea.
The cooler climate and mineral-rich landscape help create tea leaves with clarity, freshness, and gentle sweetness—qualities that make this Genmaicha especially smooth and balanced.
Traditionally, Genmaicha was created by blending roasted rice with lower-grade Sencha to soften bitterness and make the tea more accessible.
But this tea follows a different philosophy.
Here, the Sencha is already delicious on its own.
It is blended not to hide imperfections, but because high-quality Genmaicha—when made well—is something truly special.
The roasted rice is not a compromise.
It is part of artistry.
How It Is Made
The foundation of this tea is premium steamed Sencha, one of Japan’s most beloved green teas.
Shortly after harvest, the tea leaves are gently steamed to preserve their vibrant green colour, fresh aroma, and soft vegetal sweetness. This traditional Japanese process creates the bright, clean character that Sencha is known for.
The tea is then carefully blended with roasted rice, which adds warmth, softness, and the signature nutty aroma that makes Genmaicha so comforting.
As the rice toasts, it develops a rich, popcorn-like fragrance, transforming the tea into something both familiar and unique.
The result is a tea that balances freshness and warmth—green tea with soul.

Organic Premium Dragon Well (Long Jing) Green Tea
Elegant, smooth, and deeply rooted in Chinese tea tradition, Organic Premium Dragon Well—known as Long Jing (龙井)—is one of China’s most celebrated green teas and a symbol of refined simplicity.
Famous for its flat emerald-green leaves and beautifully clean flavour, this premium loose-leaf tea offers a delicate balance of chestnut sweetness, fresh vegetal notes, and a smooth, lingering finish. Light yet deeply satisfying, Dragon Well is a tea chosen for clarity, calm, and everyday ritual.
Often considered the benchmark of premium Chinese green tea, Long Jing delivers a cup that feels both luxurious and grounding—perfect for slow mornings, focused afternoons, and quiet moments of reflection.
Origin
This Organic Premium Dragon Well is grown in Zhejiang Province, China, the historic home of authentic Long Jing tea and one of the most respected green tea regions in the world.
Dragon Well tea has been produced in Zhejiang for centuries, particularly around the Hangzhou region, where mineral-rich soil, misty hills, and a mild climate create ideal growing conditions for exceptional green tea.
This tea is made from carefully selected organic spring harvest leaves, chosen for their tenderness, sweetness, and refined flavour profile.
The result is a tea that reflects both place and craftsmanship—fresh, balanced, and unmistakably elegant.
How It Is Made
Unlike steamed Japanese green teas, Dragon Well is traditionally pan-fired by hand, a method that gives Long Jing its signature roasted chestnut aroma and smooth, mellow body.
Freshly harvested tea leaves are carefully heated in large woks to stop oxidation and preserve their green tea character. During this process, skilled tea artisans gently press and shape the leaves into Long Jing’s iconic flat, sword-like appearance.
This pan-firing technique creates the tea’s distinctive flavour—soft vegetal freshness layered with warm nutty sweetness and a clean, silky finish.
The craftsmanship is subtle but precise, producing a tea that feels effortless in the cup while requiring extraordinary skill behind the scenes.

For centuries, pan-firing has been used to halt oxidation, preserving the tea's vibrant character while developing the warm, nutty undertones that distinguish Chinese green teas from their steamed counterparts.
This particular batch is organically grown in the rolling hills of Central Hunan Province, where fertile soil, seasonal rainfall, and a favorable climate create ideal conditions for producing balanced, flavourful tea.

Organic Iron Goddess of Mercy (Tieguanyin Oolong Tea)
Some teas comfort the body.
Others seem to quiet the mind.
Organic Tieguanyin—also known as Iron Goddess of Mercy—is one of those rare teas that does both.
Lightly oxidized and beautifully expressive, this traditional Chinese oolong unfolds with soft floral notes, the freshness of poached leafy greens, and a smooth buttery finish that lingers gently on the palate. Elegant without fragility, complex without heaviness, it offers a tea experience that feels calming, refined, and quietly unforgettable.
This batch follows a more modern style of Tieguanyin—lighter in oxidation, brighter in character, and more floral in expression than the darker charcoal-roasted versions traditionally found in Fujian.
The result is a tea that feels alive.
Fresh mountain air in liquid form.
Origin & History
Tieguanyin (鐵觀音), meaning Iron Goddess of Mercy, is one of the most celebrated oolong teas in China and has deep roots in the tea traditions of Southern Fujian Province.
Its name comes from Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion in Chinese Buddhism.
According to legend, a poor farmer devoted himself to caring for a neglected temple of Guanyin. Every day, he swept the floors and tended the shrine, asking for nothing in return. One night, Guanyin appeared to him in a dream and guided him to a hidden treasure—a single tea shoot.
The farmer cultivated it.
And the world came to know Tieguanyin.
Originally from Anxi in Fujian Province, Tieguanyin remains one of China’s most treasured oolong teas. Yet finding truly organic Tieguanyin has become increasingly difficult, as many farms in the region now rely on intensive agricultural methods.
This tea comes from an organic tea garden in San Mi, approximately 250 kilometers inland from Anxi, on mountainous land at around 500 meters above sea level.
Far from large industrial centers, this garden focuses on sustainable cultivation and traditional tea craftsmanship, producing tea with remarkable clarity, softness, and integrity.
How It Is Made
Tieguanyin is crafted through a meticulous partial oxidation process, placing it beautifully between green and black tea.
After harvest, the leaves are gently withered and lightly oxidized to preserve their floral brightness and fresh green character.
Unlike darker roasted oolongs, this modern-style Tieguanyin undergoes lighter oxidation, resulting in a tea that feels more vibrant, buttery, and aromatic.
The leaves are then carefully rolled, helping them slowly unfurl during steeping and release their layered flavours infusion after infusion.
This lighter approach allows the tea’s floral sweetness, creamy texture, and natural freshness to shine fully.
Nothing feels forced.
Only balanced.
Taste Profile
Organic Tieguanyin creates a tea experience that feels floral, buttery, and beautifully alive.
Aroma
Fresh orchids, spring flowers, and soft green sweetness.
Flavour
Lightly floral with notes of poached leafy greens, gentle creaminess, and a smooth buttery body.
Finish
Clean, silky, and lingering with soft floral warmth and refreshing minerality.
Each infusion opens differently, rewarding slow attention and multiple steeps.
Brewing Guide
Recommended Preparation
- Tea: 3g / 1 tbsp
- Water: 240ml / 1 cup
- Temperature: 85–90°C / 185–194°F

It is the tea that first taught them how nuanced tea could be.
Floral. Silken. Restorative.
A tea shaped by devotion, patience, and mountain air.
Wild Crafted Chaga
Deep, Earthy, and Traditionally Brewed
Harvested from birch forests in Quebec, Canada, our Wild Crafted Chaga offers a rich, dark infusion with remarkable depth and character. Often referred to as the “King of Mushrooms,” Chaga has been enjoyed for generations across northern forests where long winters and rugged landscapes shaped a culture of nourishing, slow-brewed beverages.
Unlike delicate herbal teas, Chaga brews into a bold cup with notes reminiscent of roasted cacao, forest woodlands, and mild coffee. The result is comforting, caffeine-free, and satisfying any time of day.
Whether you're exploring functional mushrooms or simply searching for a flavourful alternative to coffee, Chaga delivers a uniquely grounding experience.
Origin
Our Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is sustainably wild-harvested from birch trees in Quebec, Canada.
Growing naturally throughout the circumboreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere, Chaga has a long history of use in Siberia, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and northern Indigenous traditions, where it was commonly prepared as a slow-simmered decoction.
What Makes Chaga Unique?
Unlike culinary mushrooms, Chaga grows as a dense, dark conk on living birch trees. Over many years, it has developed a concentrated profile of naturally occurring compounds, which has made it the subject of growing scientific interest.
Today, Chaga is appreciated by tea lovers, mushroom enthusiasts, and wellness-minded drinkers for its rich flavour, traditional heritage, and naturally caffeine-free character.
Taste Profile
Aroma: Earthy, woody, and slightly sweet
Body: Full-bodied and smooth
Flavour Notes: Roasted cacao, birch forest, mild vanilla, and subtle coffee-like richness
Finish: Clean, warming, and pleasantly lingering
Brewing Guide
Traditional Chaga Tea
-
10g Chaga per 1 litre water
-
Simmer gently for 2 hours.
-
Strain and enjoy
Short on time? A gentle rolling boil for approximately 20 minutes will still produce a rich, flavourful infusion.
One of Chaga's most remarkable qualities is its reusability. The same pieces can often be brewed three to four additional times while continuing to produce a satisfying cup.
Continuous Simmer Method
For a traditional northern-style preparation, keep a pot gently simmering throughout the day, topping up with water as needed. This method creates an ongoing supply of rich Chaga tea and extracts maximum flavour from each batch.
Why Tea Drinkers Love Chaga
-
Naturally caffeine-free
-
Rich, dark flavour similar to coffee
-
Traditionally enjoyed throughout northern cultures.
-
Reusable for multiple brews
-
Excellent as a standalone beverage or blended with other herbs and spices
A Forest Tradition in Every Cup
Some teas refresh. Others energize. Chaga does something different.
It invites you to slow down.
From the birch forests of Quebec to your favourite mug, this wild-crafted mushroom creates a deeply comforting brew that feels equally at home on a cold winter morning or a quiet evening indoors.
Simple, earthy, and timeless—this is one of the most distinctive infusions nature has to offer.
