Organic Hojicha Green Tea

This organic Japanese green tea is roasted to perfection to produce an amber infusion with flavors of toasted grain and stone fruit, with a pleasant buckwheat aftertaste. Our most recent lot boasts a more pronounced toasted flavor profile. Although this is truly an organic green tea (in that it lacks oxidation), the leaves are turned brown during the roasting process. According to Japanese research, Hojicha Green Tea (also spelled “Houjicha”) is reputed to have lower caffeine than other green teas because of the unique roasting technique. This organic loose tea can be brewed with hotter water than most green teas and is devoid of astringency.
