Hojicha, also spelled houjicha, is similar to matcha green tea due to its high antioxidant concentrations, but offers a distinct flavour that North American's have been warming up to. Hojicha, a roasted green tea, originated in Kyoto, Japan in the 1920s when a tea merchant rolled the green tea and roasted it over a charcoal fire. The result was Hojicha: a green tea with notes of a smoky yet sweet taste. Due to it’s naturally inviting aroma and all the benefits of green tea, without any bitter taste, Hojicha’s popularity surged rapidly throughout tea shops in Japan.
