Hojicha – roasted Japanese tea from Kyoto
Hojicha is a unique Japanese green tea with a deep, nutty-caramel flavor and a pleasant, smoky aroma. Its infusion has a warm, ruby color, and thanks to the roasting process - created in 1920 in Kyoto - it is devoid of the bitterness typical of classic green tea. It is an excellent option for people who appreciate the mild taste and aromas known from black teas. Hojicha quickly surprises - and just as quickly becomes a favorite choice. Ideal for drinking in the evening - the low caffeine content means you can enjoy it at any time of the day.
