Hojicha has a roasted aroma. The taste is also roasted with a hint of sweetness. Hojicha is a very interesting Japanese Green Tea. The tea leaves are steamed and dried like the leaves of Sencha. The difference from most other Japanese Green Teas comes from the next step. The leaves are roasted over low heat. The roasting process decreases the caffeine in the tea leaves, produces a red cup of tea, and is responsible for the hint of sweetness. Enjoy a very unique cup of Hojicha Green Tea!
