All about the product
Most hojicha available in the Western market is finely chopped and heavily roasted. We, on the other hand, wanted to present you with something unique – hojicha with long, beautiful stems, lightly roasted in sand. This method dates back to the Edo period (17th–19th century).
The stems are from the spring harvest (sencha), while the leaves are from the second harvest (bancha). In both, you can still see a vivid green hue. This tea retains a noticeable aftertaste of fresh green tea, but clearly features notes of bread, wood, and even minerals. Hojicha is often consumed after meals and in the evening, as it contains much less caffeine than leaf teas.
