Refund Policy

At Hojicha, every order is packed fresh to order. Because tea is a perishable, made-to-order product, we do not accept general returns. This keeps every order fresh and ensures the quality you expect.

For any questions about your order, contact us at hello@hojicha.example. We typically respond within 1-2 business days.

Damaged or Defective Items

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or in unsatisfactory condition, we will make it right at no cost to you. Contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and a photo of the issue. We will send a replacement or issue a full refund, your choice.

Wrong Item Received

If we made an error on your order, for example you ordered loose leaf but received powder, contact us within 7 days of delivery. We will ship the correct item immediately at no extra charge, or issue a full refund if you prefer.

This does not apply if the correct item was shipped as selected at checkout. Please double-check your form and size selection before placing your order.

  1. Email hello@hojicha.example with your order number.
  2. Include a brief description of the issue and a photo if applicable.
  3. Our team will review your request within 1-2 business days.
