Cha Zen by Tealive presents consumers with a choice of Matcha or Hojicha beverages, both crafted from premium Japanese green tea leaves. What makes Cha Zen stand out is Tealive’s approach—not only embracing the global popularity of matcha, but also introducing hojicha, a roasted variation derived from the same leaves yet processed differently.
As matcha continues to gain worldwide attention, it often sparks curiosity about hojicha. Since both teas share Japanese origins, interest in one naturally encourages exploration of the other.
Hojicha offers a warm, toasty flavour with nutty undertones and a hint of sweetness, all without the bitterness often found in other teas. Unlike matcha, it contains significantly less caffeine, making it a soothing choice for evenings or for those who prefer a gentler pick-me-up.
