Details:Hojicha is another creative use of tea by-products by the Japanese. Hojicha was commercialized once mechanical harvesters started being used in Japan to compensate for labor shortages. The tea plant was shorn of everything, and the mess was separated later. The best leaves became Sencha, the larger leaves became Yanagi, and the stems became Hojicha. Tea terms in Japan have several meanings, and hojicha can mean several types of tea. For us, it is roasted 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).
