Type: Japanese Green Tea
Origin: Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
Hojicha is made from Bancha “common tea”, tea from the last harvest of the season. Hojicha is set apart from other Japanese green teas because it is roasted over charcoal. This tea is fried at high temperature, altering the leaf color tints from green to red. Hojicha infusions have a distinctively clear red appearance, a nutty toasty, slightly caramel flavor and are less astringent due to losing catechin during the high temperature roasting process.
The roasting lowers its caffeine content, thus an ideal tea for relaxing and a wonderful alternative to decaffeinated choices.
