Genmai Hojicha
This tea is a variation of Hojicha from Shizuoka. After the leaf stems are aged over a period of four years, they are then roasted and mixed with toasted rice, producing a light, smooth, toasted taste with a wonderful aroma.
About Hojicha Variety
Hojicha is roasted Sencha or Bancha (coarse tea). Roasting reduces bitterness and creates a light and smooth taste with a toasted aroma. By varying the leaves used and the roasting temperature, the aroma and the taste can be adjusted to create more different varieties of Hojicha. After harvesting, the leaves are stored at room temperature for one to two years to enhance the flavor before they are made into Hojicha.
