Hojicha is a Japanese green tea that's distinguished by its roasting process, resulting in a reddish-brown color and a toasty, nutty, and caramel-like flavor profile. Unlike other green teas that are steamed, hojicha is roasted over charcoal at high temperatures, reducing bitterness and caffeine levels. This roasted green tea powder is crafted from carefully selected tea leaves and stems. Stone-milled into a fine powder, it brews into a smooth cup with comforting notes of toasted cereal and balanced umami.
