What is Hojicha
Our Hojicha, also known as roasted Japanese green tea powder, is sun grown and made of finely ground tea from the first harvest of the Spring in May in Kagoshima, Japan.
Roasting the green tea leaves at high temperature after being steamed is what gives Hojicha its unique aromas. Which is naturally earthy, sweet with a beautiful reddish brown color. Hojicha has a light-caramel-like flavor with subtile sweetness and nutty undertones. Hojicha contains a lower caffeine level as compared to other Japanese green tea leaves.
Health benefits
Hojicha offers numerous health benefits due to its high antioxidant content, low caffeine, and unique properties like L-theanine and pyrazine. These benefits include stress reduction, digestive support, improved sleep, and potential anti-aging and immune system support.
Taste: nutty, caramel-like, slightly sweet with smoky undertones. It often has a smooth, creamy texture, making it a comforting and soothing beverage. The roasting process reduces bitterness and astringency, resulting in a taste that can be compared to coffee or roasted nuts.
