焙じ茶 HOJI CHA

Hoji cha is a Japanese tea made by roasting green tea leaves, with a mild flavor and less bitterness. It has less caffeine, which makes it perfect for children. Hojicha brews to a mild brown colour, refreshing taste and umami. It can be drunk in large quantities because it is low in caffeine and amino acids. Hojicha tea, can be distinguished by its two types and flavors, depending on the part of the leaves from which it is made, and so "hojicha" is made from roasted leaves and "kukihojicha" from roasted stems. Hojicha has an intriguing scent that is very calming thanks to the pyrazines and furans it contains.
