Kuki Hōjicha is a unique roasted tea made from the stems of bancha, the third flush pluck of sencha harvested in the Japanese summer and autumn months. Like Hōjicha proper, the pla nt material is gently roasted over charcoal to give it a unique flavour and imparting a toasted and grainy note. Kuki Hōjicha has a bright, golden liquor and many describe this kuki version as being a little sweeter than regular hojicha. The process of roasting reduces the caffeine content, making this roasted green tea a lovely choice for the evening or as the base for a latte. Kuki Hōjicha benefits from being brewed at slightly cooler temperatures and for a shorter steep than a typical black tea. Show more
