Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea which is customarily served hot in winter, for comfort, and cool in summer, for refreshment. Most Japanese green teas are steamed, where as hojicha is fired for a few minutes at a high temperature of around 200ºc, changing the leaf colour from a light green to a beautiful reddish-brown. This roasting process lowers the amount of caffeine present in the tea and gives the subtle sweet and savoury flavour unique to roasted tea. Nutty, toasted and slightly caramel flavours. Show more
