Hojicha (Organic)

Traditional Japanese green tea that is roasted, filling the palate with toast and caramel. Our previous Hojicha was made with Chinese green tea, but our new import is from a Japanese garden. It is a higher grade of leaf, and features a smoother finish. 

Ingredient (organic): Roasted Green tea

Origin: Shizuoka and Kagoshima, Japan

Caffeine Content: Low 

Water Temperature: 85C/185F

Steep Time: 1-3 minutes (or can be left longer as it does not get bitter as easily as steamed and pan-fired Green teas)

One teaspoon per 8 ozs water

"Sweet, toasty and silky. This Hojicha is easily one of the smoothest cups of tea I have ever had the privilege to sip on. The roasted leaves smell comforting, and the amber colour of the liquor is a treat to look at. Also, try this as a latté. DO IT. "
