Hojicha

Hojicha is sencha green tea that has been roasted to a higher temperature, resulting in a light and delicate flavor profile devoid of astringency, making it a popular choice for children. The degree of roasting directly influences the tea's aroma, with deeper roasts yielding a more pronounced fragrance while shallower roasts retain a stronger tea flavor. Brew Hojicha with water at about 90°C and steep the tea for around one minute for the best flavor.
