Okay I am not usually a tea person but these blends are actually insane. The green tea one I had this morning took me straight back to a tiny tea house in Kyoto. Smooth, grassy, no bitterness at all. I finished my cup wishing I had made two.

I was a bit worried it would taste like medicine but honestly it does not at all. Just warm, nutty, a bit toasty. Reminds me of a roasted barley drink my grandma used to make. Love it.

The flavour is so unique. Soft floral notes, a little bit earthy, not sweet but somehow still comforting. I have been drinking it every night with my book and it has become my favourite little ritual. Hard to describe but you just have to try it.

I was drinking way too much coffee and feeling wrecked by 3pm every day. Switched my afternoon cup to this and I genuinely feel different. More focused, no jitters, and I am not reaching for snacks anymore. Did not expect a tea to do this.

I have had bad sleep for years. Tried everything. Magnesium, melatonin, no phone before bed, all of it. Started drinking this about an hour before bed and I am finally sleeping through the night. I wake up actually rested for once. Not saying it is magic but something is working.

Bought it for the taste honestly, the benefits were a bonus. But about three weeks in my partner said I seemed calmer and my skin was clearer. Now I am a believer. Something about having a warm ritual twice a day has changed how I feel.

You can tell straight away it is not supermarket tea. The smell when you open the pouch is incredible. Fresh, vibrant, actual leaves you can see. I have been buying organic tea for years and this is the best I have tried.

I lived in Japan for five years and got really into tea there. When I moved back home I could not find anything close to the quality I had gotten used to. This is the first brand outside Japan that has genuinely impressed me. The sourcing makes all the difference.

The packaging alone made me happy. Beautiful pouch, a handwritten thank you note, the little gold infuser. It felt like I was unwrapping a gift. And then the tea itself is just as lovely. Worth every cent and I have already reordered.

Take the Tea QuizIt's my first time trying hojicha and so far I have enjoyed my cups of tea with this blend. I find having this cup of tea very calming and it helps with digestion 😊
Hi Ayana, we're so glad you enjoyed the Hojicha Haven! It's wonderful to hear it brings you calm and helps with digestion. Thanks for sharing your experience!
So pleasantly surprised. I am not adventurous with tea and really only drink 1 type so I was blown away by all 4 teas I tried. The service was also phenomenal which added to the whole experience.
Hi Philippa, we're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Hojicha Haven and your experience with us! Thank you for your lovely review and for sharing your journey with our teas. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Really excellent blend using high quality ingredients. Tastes like a lot of care was put into it
Warm, toasty, and smooth with almost no astringency. The peppermint adds brightness and ginger a gentle spice.
Around 15 mg per cup, less than a fifth of a coffee. Hojicha is roasted long enough to mellow the caffeine, making it a calm-energy drink rather than a stimulant.
Late afternoon and early evening. Hojicha Haven is the wind-down between work and dinner, when you want warmth without caffeine getting in the way of sleep.
About 30 cups per 65g pouch when brewed at one teaspoon per cup.
Yes. Every ingredient in Hojicha Haven is certified organic. The hojicha comes directly from Japan, and the supporting botanicals are sourced from a trusted local Australian supplier. Loulou hand-blends every pouch in small batches on the Gold Coast, Australia.
Roasted hojicha is warm and toasty, so we balance it with peppermint for a cool, bright finish and ginger for a gentle spice. Together they keep the cup comforting without ever feeling heavy.
Yes. The very low caffeine and warm roasted character make it a good after-dinner cup. Many of our regulars finish their day with a Hojicha Haven before switching to a night blend.
