Hojicha Roasted Japanese Green Tea

Blender's Notes:

Our staff visited Shizuoka Prefecture in 2023 in search of a new organic garden, and we discovered the best Hojicha we've tasted. To make this tea, fresh green leaves are steamed - like Sencha - and then roasted. This results in a savory, nutty Japanese green tea with an aroma that might remind you of puffed rice cereal from your childhood. Hojicha is an everyday Japanese breakfast tea. There are no bitter notes, even when brewed more than once. The caffeine content is lower than most other green teas because roasting causes much of the caffeine to dissipate. Many of our customers make cold-steeped tea overnight with our Cold-Steep Flask Pitcher.
