Hojicha

Hojicha 

Hojicha is an end-of-season roasted Japanese green tea. This tea is produced in Shimada, Shizuoka Prefecture, from tea grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. The roasting process transforms the fresh, grassy character of green tea into something warm, mellow and aromatic, while naturally reducing its caffeine content. The result is a deep, rich powder with notes of toast, damp wood and gentle earthiness.
