Hojicha
Filed under: All, Green Traditional
Description:
Hojicha is roasted giving it a unique flavor and smell, meaning toasted tea, a common grade leaf called bancha, a lower grade leaf then sencha, is used for the roasting. The roasting makes for a toasty, slightly caramel-like flavor. The tea is low in caffeine and is commonly enjoyed before bed or as an after dinner tea. Very nice, this is definitely a style of tea everyone should try.
