Organic Premium Hōjicha | Japan

 Hōjicha is a Japanese roasted green tea and brews up a beautiful caramel color.

Roasted organic green tea from Uji with a mild smoky taste, low in caffeine. This tea is produced in Uji, Japan. The dark roast makes this a very aromatic tea, wonderful after dinner, and an amazing tea to pair with food.

Hōjicha infusions have a light- to reddish-brown appearance and are less astringent. The lower levels of astringency in hōjicha are due to the tea losing catechins during the high-temperature roasting process.

The roasted flavours are extracted and dominate this tea: the roasting replaces the vegetative tones of other varieties of Japanese green tea with a toasty, slightly caramel-like flavour.
