Hojicha Roasted Green Tea

Hojicha literally means "roasted tea" — generally understood to mean some form of roasted green tea because roasting isn't a basic step in green tea processing, while it is a step in oolong and black tea processing. This is a Chinese Hojicha. It has a roasted flavor that is just as good as the Japanese Hojicha's we have tried.

Hojicha is produced using a 3rd flush Bancha style leaf known in the tea business as Sanbancha. The plucked leaves are steamed and dried in a style similar to that of Sencha. Next the dried leaf is roasted over a low heat. The low roasting temperature imparts a sweet taste and nice fresh aroma. (Hojicha that has been roasted at too high of a temperature will lose much of its sweetness.) This roasting process results in a tea with a reddish color and light cup with a very unique flavor. Try pairing Hojicha with Asian themed meals and notice how well it cleanses the palate. It is a refreshing tea that is as good hot as it is poured over ice. What’s more, the roasting process removes much of the tea’s caffeine, making it a great tea to serve with an evening meal.
