Hojicha is known for its mellow, nutty flavor with a toasty aroma. Hojicha is roasted at high temperatures after the leaves have been steamed. This process alters the leaf color from green to a reddish-brown appearance. The roasting process also burns out tannin and caffeine; the longer the roasting process, the less tannin and caffeine remain in the tea. We offer three Hojicha roasting tea and this Hojicha Nishio Classic is at the medium roasting level. See all other Hojicha teas. Second and third flushes produced in Nishio, Aichi prefecture. The roasting process not only imparts a warm, toasty flavor but also significantly reduces bitterness, making Hojicha Nishio Classic a milder and more palatable option. The subtle notes of caramel and a hint of smokiness add to its appeal, making it a comforting and satisfying beverage. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with meals, hojicha tea from Nishio provides a distinctive and memorable tea-drinking experience. 4g (3-4tsp) / One cup / 95°C (203°F) /30 sec / brew up to 2 times
