About Ippodo Tea - Kyoto since 1717
Types of Ippodo Tea
Hojicha is a type of Japanese green tea that stands out for its amazing sweet, hearty, and toasty aroma. It is made by roasting regular green tea leaves, resulting in a tea with an amber color and a roasted fragrance. Hojicha’s flavor is light, without much astringency, making it an accessible tea for just about anyone. Ippodo’s hojicha is roasted carefully in-house at our headquarters in the heart of Kyoto.
This is Ippodo’s foremost hojicha, and it has been a bestseller in Japan for decades.
Character: Deeply aromatic. Its taste is slightly sweet, with light astringency and bitterness. Easy to drink in large amounts.
Bring out hojicha’s wonderful fragrance with piping hot water. After the first brew, rebrew the tea leaves for a total of three brews.
Quickly make iced tea by pouring strongly brewed hojicha over a pitcher of ice. Fragrant, cool, and refreshing.

Gyokuro is a green tea that has an abundance of hearty-sweet umami flavor. With a dew-like aroma, less astringency, and a thick character, this tea is one for slowly sipping and savoring.
Sencha brews a harmonious balance of umami, sweetness, bitterness, and astringency, with a bright fragrance like a sunny field. Enjoy sencha in the morning or afternoon, at mealtime or teatime. This classic green tea fits any occasion.
