Kuki hojicha is roasted stem tea: kukicha put through the same high-temperature roast that makes hojicha. It combines two things that both lower caffeine — stems carry less of it than leaf, and roasting drives off more still — which makes it the gentlest tea in our range. The flavour sits between its two parents: the caramel and toasted-grain notes of hojicha over the natural sweetness of the stems, with a lighter body than leaf hojicha. Brew it near boiling for well under a minute; it is almost impossible to over-steep. This is the one to put on after dinner.

How to Make Kuki Hojicha Like a Pro
Kuki hojicha takes a slightly higher temperature and a short brew, which lets the warmer roasted notes come through. It is almost impossible to over-steep, but do not overdo it.
Heat the Water
Heat water to 80°C (176°F).
Add the Leaves
Add 5 g of leaves to a kyusu teapot.
Steep
Pour 150 ml of water and steep for 1 minute.
Pour & Brew Again
Pour out every drop, then brew the same leaves once more (20 seconds).

Why Organic Kuki Hojicha Fields Make a Difference
Teepflanzen nehmen alles aus dem Boden auf, weshalb pestizidfreier Anbau besonders wichtig ist. Die Landwirte, mit denen wir zusammenarbeiten, haben einen Weg gefunden, köstlichen Tee anzubauen, ohne das natürliche Ökosystem zu schädigen.

Mein Lieblingsanbieter für japanische Bio-Grüntees (lose Blätter). Sie beziehen einige der besten Bio-Tees aus Japan und unterstützen Familienbetriebe sowie die wachsende Bio-Teebranche insgesamt. Ich bestelle seit Jahren bei verschiedenen Anbietern, und Nio bietet durchweg die besten Preise und die größte Auswahl. Außerdem bieten sie erstklassigen Kundenservice und schnellen Versand. Absolut empfehlenswert! 🍃
Shipping is free once your order passes the threshold for your country — USD 54.99 · EUR 54.99 · GBP 44.99 · CHF 49.99 · CAD 74.99 · DKK 399 · SEK 599 · PLN 229 · CZK 1,290. Everywhere else it's the equivalent of USD 54.99, converted automatically. Below the threshold a flat rate applies, always shown at checkout before you pay.
We ship from warehouses in the US, the EU and Japan — whichever is closest to you. US and EU orders arrive in 4–12 business days; the handful of countries served from Japan take around 10. Business days count from dispatch rather than from when you order, and exclude weekends and public holidays. You'll get a tracking number by email the moment your parcel leaves the warehouse.
We only buy from fields grown without pesticides or chemicals. We ask each farmer directly how they manage their land, visit the plantation and processing facility ourselves, taste every harvest before committing, and check that the biodiversity around the fields is alive. Small family farms don't always carry paperwork — so we verify it in person instead.
Japanese green tea covers an enormous range, and choosing online isn't easy. If you've tried yours and it isn't for you, email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a line on what you didn't enjoy. We'll send a different tea of equal or lower value, free. Nothing to post back — keep it, share it, or try brewing it cooler. Once per order.
Email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a photo. We'll approve it, cover the return postage with a prepaid label or a reimbursement, and refund you — no restocking fee. Refunds go to your original payment method within 2 business days of the return reaching us; your bank may take another 5–20 to show it.
Unopened items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days. Tea is sealed for hygiene, so opened packs can't come back — but the swap above covers exactly that situation. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged, defective or incorrect.
Orders to the US and EU ship domestically from our local warehouse, so there's no customs charge and no duty. A small number of destinations are served from our Japan warehouse, where your own customs authority may apply import duty, VAT or a carrier handling fee on delivery. Those are set by your country, not by us. Ask before you order and we'll help you check.
