Hojicha is a distinctive Japanese green tea created through a special roasting process. The tea leaves and stems are gently heated, giving the infusion its characteristic amber colour and warm, toasty aroma. The flavour is smooth and balanced, with light roasted notes, a natural sweetness and subtle hints of cocoa and caramel. <\/p>\n
This Hojicha comes from Kagoshima in southern Japan, a region known for its rich tea culture and high-quality production. It is made from the Yabukita cultivar, one of Japan\u2019s most popular tea varieties. Unlike most green teas, Hojicha is not steamed but carefully roasted. The word \u201cHouji\u201d means \u201croasted\u201d and \u201ccha\u201d means \u201ctea\u201d. This process creates a mild, harmonious profile with naturally low caffeine content, making it ideal for evening enjoyment. <\/p>\n
