At Bun and Coffee, we love to innovate, experiment, and bring you unique – sometimes even bold – flavors, always with the goal of making the most of them. You’re already familiar with our specialty coffee, and our ceremonial-grade matcha has totally won you over. Now, we’re ready to take it a step further with its chill cousin: hojicha.
If you fell in love with our chai latte and enjoy every sip of our matcha latte, get ready – the hojicha latte has arrived. A new flavor experience: deeper, cozier, and completely irresistible.
What is Hojicha and Why Should You Try It?
Hojicha is a type of Japanese green tea that stands out for its roasting process. Unlike matcha or sencha, which are kept in their freshest and most vibrant form, hojicha goes through a roasting phase that deepens its color and gives it a warm, smoky aroma.
This process not only brings out its signature nutty, chestnut-like flavor, but also lowers its caffeine content — making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a calming drink that won’t interfere with rest.
A Caffeine-Free Alternative for a Relaxing Afternoon
If you enjoy sipping on a warm drink in the afternoon but worry about caffeine, hojicha is the perfect choice for you. Many of our customers prefer decaf coffee later in the day, and at Bun and Coffee, we already offer an excellent decaf coffee from Honduras. Still, we wanted to give you even more caffeine-free options — and hojicha is a beautiful one.
Its smooth and comforting profile makes it ideal for those moments when you want to unwind without disturbing your sleep.
Like matcha, hojicha is rich in antioxidants and offers benefits such as improved digestion and stress relief. Its toasty, well-balanced flavor makes it a great alternative for anyone looking for something different and a little more refined.
Our New Hojicha & Hazelnut Drinks
To let you enjoy hojicha at its best, we’ve created new drinks that pair its deep, toasty flavor with sweet and creamy notes.
Hojicha Latte
The perfect combo: hojicha brewed and blended with steamed milk. Its smooth, creamy texture brings out the roasted, smoky notes of the tea, creating a warm, balanced, and comforting drink.
Want to add a touch of sweetness? Ask your favorite barista for a splash of vanilla syrup. Almost too good? Absolutely.
Hojicha Hazelnut Latte
If you’re craving something a little sweeter and more indulgent, this one’s for you. Our house-made hazelnut syrup (yes, with real hazelnuts!) melts into the hojicha to create a rich, aromatic, and delicious experience you won’t forget.
Hazelnut Latte
For coffee lovers, we’ve crafted a latte with a special twist. Our house-made hazelnut syrup enhances the flavor of espresso and milk, adding an irresistible smoothness and sweetness. Topped with a little almond crunch, it’s the perfect match for our Bueno Bueno donut.
Nutty Cacao
Not everyone knows this, but we have a pretty amazing cacao latte — designed as a better, more wholesome alternative to those overly sweet milkshakes we all grew up with (oops…). For those who love a good hot chocolate, we’ve taken it up a notch with our hazelnut syrup, creating an indulgent and comforting option. Rich, creamy, and oh-so-satisfying — it’s the perfect little treat.
