Collection: Tea

Explore authentic Japanese tea in India, from everyday green tea and roasted hojicha to matcha, genmaicha, sakura tea, jasmine tea and convenient latte mixes. This collection brings together tea bags, loose tea, powdered tea, instant sticks and ready-to-drink options from trusted Japanese brands such as Ito En, Tsujiri and AGF.

Japanese tea covers a wide range of flavours. Sencha and other green teas are fresh and grassy, hojicha is roasted and mellow, genmaicha combines green tea with toasted rice, while matcha has a richer body and gentle bitterness. Sakura blends are more aromatic and seasonal, and milk tea or matcha latte products are smoother and sweeter.

For the best result, follow the preparation instructions on each product. Green tea generally tastes better with hot water that is below a full boil, while hojicha and many tea bags can handle hotter water. Matcha powder can be whisked with water, mixed into milk or used in desserts. Instant sticks and latte mixes are made for quick preparation and may already contain sugar or milk ingredients.

Please check the product page for ingredients, serving size and preparation details before ordering. Some flavoured teas, latte powders and bottled drinks may contain milk, soy, sweeteners or other added ingredients. Tea naturally contains caffeine unless the individual product states otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between matcha and regular green tea?

Matcha is finely ground tea leaf powder that is consumed whole, while regular green tea is brewed and the leaves are removed.

Which Japanese tea is mildest?

Hojicha is often a good choice for beginners because its roasted flavour is smooth and less grassy. Genmaicha is also approachable because of its toasted rice aroma.

Can Japanese tea be prepared cold?

Many tea bags, powders and bottle-stick products can be prepared with cold water. Always follow the directions on the individual pack for the correct quantity and steeping time.
