Hojicha, a Japanese specialty, contains roasted twigs from some of the best tea gardens in Uji. One of the joys of Japanese food stores is the smell of fresh roasted Hojicha. It is reminiscent of coffee but sweeter. Ours is made from stems and has reduced levels of caffeine in comparison to black tea.
Ingredients: Roasted tea stalks and twigs.
Dry Leaves: No leaves at all, just small, light brown wooden stalks. Caffeine is concentrated in the tender leaves and decreases in the tough stems, so there are low levels of caffeine in the brew.
Liquor: Unlike other green teas, the liquor is caramel brown.
Aroma: Gently reminiscent of roasted coffee, with more sweet caramel coffee notes (at least that is our memory from when we drank coffee).
Flavors: Roasted coffee.
