Hojicha Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea that originated in Kyoto. Our blend of Hojicha Tea includes the carefully selected tea leaves of Sencha, Bancha and Kukicha plants. These tea leaves are traditionally roasted over high heat to bring out the unique aroma, and turns the leaves into a beautiful amber colour. During the Meiji period, there was a tea merchant who tried to experiment to make the most use of leftovers of various parts of the tea plant. The tea merchant roasted the leaves, stems, and twigs by roasting them over charcoal. Since then, Japan began roasting green tea and this resulted in a new business opportunity. People, especially the tea drinkers in that period, loved Hojicha Tea because of its pleasant smoky aroma and mild flavor. TRADITIONAL ROASTING METHOD We carefully selected the tea leaves of Sencha, Bancha and Kukicha cultivars. The process of roasting these tea leaves produces pyrazine, which is what creates the distinctive, pleasant roasting aroma associated with Hojicha Tea. The roasting also reduces the astringency of the tea, leaving you with a smooth taste that is easy to drink. The roasting process does not affect the tea’s health benefits, but instead burns away bitterness and caffeine. It is wonderful to drink after meals or in the evening and it can be safely consumed by babies, children and pregnant women. HOJICHA WITH SEASONAL FRUITS Using 100% authentic hojicha tea leaves, the flavor & aroma are pure and it accompanies fantastically with various kinds of seasonal fruits, herbs, flowers, and even milk, and honey. EASY TO DRINK FOR ALL PEOPLE Easy-to-drink tea with little to none astringency or bitterness, it can be safely consumed by a wide range of people, from babies to the elderly.

Review: roasted green tea - I am a fan of Japanese teas of the less stratospheric variety. I enjoy drinking genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice mixed in it) hojicha (roasted green tea) and kukicha (kind of sticks and stems from the tea plant.) These are flavourful, not as caffeinated as regular black tea, and some such as genmaicha are anti-oxident and anti-inflammatory. I purchased this brand of hojicha after not having any of that kind of tea in the pantry for a couple of years. I was attracted by its being organic, and of a trustworthy brand. I like it, and have at least one cup a day every day in the afternoon, and maybe an additional cup with dinner. It needs to be made properly, so follow the instructions on the bag to the letter. I use a "tea egg" or "tea ball" in my cup to make the tea. My wife uses a tea strainer. Good luck. Review: Favorite afternoon tea. - This Hojicha tea has a roasted, nutty, toasty, flavor with a touch of dark coco. Add honey for sweetness. Overall it's my favorite afternoon tea. True Japan quality tea. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | YAMASAN KYOTO UJI | | Diet type | Plant Based | | Flavour | Hojicha | | Item form | Loose Leaves | | Tea variety | Houjicha | | Unit count | 150.0 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** YAMASAN KYOTO UJI - **Flavour:** Hojicha - **Item form:** Loose Leaves - **Tea variety:** Houjicha - **Unit count:** 150.0 Grams ## Images ![Roasted Green Tea Hojicha Tea, Loose Leaf Houjicha Tea from Uji, Kyoto, Authentic Japanese Tea Leaves, Organic and Low Caffeine Tea, 150g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RTwPDOt2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have leaves or is it a powder? Since matcha is normally a powder and kukicha twigs.** A: Thank you for interesting our product. This product is tea leaves but with some matcha powder inside. **Q: If I purchase this, will I get barley tea or green tea? The photos are for barley tea but the reviews are for green tea.** A: They put all reviews for the same company together. Under the review title you can see which product the review refers to. I have purchased Sencha and Hojicha from them and I got Sencha and Hojicha as described, not green tea. If you order this one you'll get this one. :) **Q: Is this basically black tea?** A: Thank you for your inquiry. Hojicha is a kind of Japanese green tea. Hojicha is roasted after the leaves are steamed. Along with removing all bitterness, the roasting process gives hojicha its reddish-brown color and a unique smoky taste. We also have organic black tea in our store. You can check it too. **Q: Is this barley tea gluten free?** A: No. barley is not a gluten free grain. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ roasted green tea *by B***Y on 25 February 2021* I am a fan of Japanese teas of the less stratospheric variety.
