Hojicha Tea, Roasted green Tea, Low caffeine, JAS Certified Organic, Japanese Tea, 150g Bag 【YAMASAN】

Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea that originated in Kyoto.

We carefully selected the tea leaves of Sencha, Bancha and Kukicha.

The tea leaves are roasted over high heat to bring out the unique aroma.

In the Meiji period, there was a tea merchant who tried to have an experiment to make the most of the leftovers of various parts of the tea plant.

The tea merchant roasted the leaves, stems, and twigs by roasting them over charcoal.

Since then, Japan began Hojicha roasting green tea and this resulted in a new business opportunity.

People, especially the tea drinkers in that period, loved Hojicha because of its pleasant smoky aroma and mild flavor.
