Hojicha comes from a roasting process over 100 years old from Kyoto and is a roasted green tea. Unlike other green teas it is not as bitter but instead has a mild nutty and caramel-like taste, a smoky aroma and a light brownish color. Rather than being steamed like many other Japanese green teas, hojicha is roasted in a porcelain vessel over charcoal. Hojicha is often used as an alternative to black tea and herbal teas because of its low caffeine content, which is significantly reduced during its unique roasting process. In Japan you will therefore often see children, the elderly and pregnant women drinking the tea in the afternoon or just before bedtime. Like other green teas, hojicha contains plenty of catechins and antioxidants. The tea leaves themselves are from Japan but are packaged and produced in the USA.
For 1 tea bag brew about 250 ml of water at 75-85°C. Let the tea steep for 1-3 minutes depending on desired strength.
