Marukyu Koyamaen Hojicha Tea Bags are an easy way to enjoy roasted Japanese green tea without needing a teapot. Made with carefully selected premium grade Tencha leaves (which are normally ground into ceremonial matcha), they brew a smooth cup with a warm roasted aroma and toasted flavour. 

Each pack contains 5 individually wrapped 6g tea bags, making them convenient for home, work or travel. The plant based, pyramid shaped bags allow the tea leaves to open as they brew.

Brewing Tip

Place one tea bag in a cup, add freshly boiled water and allow it to brew to your preferred strength. Marukyu Koyamaen recommends using water close to 100°C and a relatively short brewing time of 30 seconds - 1 minute hojicha to bring out its roasted aroma. Brew longer if you prefer a stronger taste.
