Hojicha is a Japanese green tea that is produced in an unusual manner – it contains not only tea leaves, but primarily of choppedup roasted stems. The result is a tea with an original flavour that is reminiscent of freshly baked brown bread.<\/p>\n
The majority of hojicha on the western market is finely cut and strongly roasted. We, on the other hand, wanted to present you with something unique – a hojicha with long, lovely stems, subjected to a lighter sand roasting. This method goes back to the Edo period (17th – 19th centuries).<\/p>\n
The stems come from a spring harvest (sencha), whereas the leaves were from a second harvest (bancha). You can still see a distinct green reflection in them both. This tea has actually preserved a noticeable fresh green tea aftertaste, but the bready, woody, even mineral notes clearly dominate. Hojicha is often drunk after meals and also in the evenings as it contains a lot less caffeine than leafy teas.<\/p>\n
