Hojicha green tea BIO 60 g

Product description

Hojicha is an exception among Japanese teas and its taste is nothing like that of other green teas. Hojicha comes from leaves harvested in autumn and is roasted at high temperatures, which gives its leaves a dark brown color. Then it also acquires its unique smoky aroma and sweet flavor with caramel and nutty notes. During the roasting process, hojicha also loses its caffeine content, so it can be drunk before bedtime and can be drunk by children and pregnant women The process of roasting green tea was invented in the 1920s in Kyoto, and since then hojicha has been steadily gaining popularity now reaching far beyond Japan's borders. Drinking hojicha helps regulate the amount of cholesterol and sugar in the body and also strengthens the immune system. Hojicha, like genmaicha, is often served with meals in Japan. It can be brewed several times although, as a rule, 3 brews is optimal. Moya Hojicha comes from small family-owned and organic cultivation on the southern island of Kiushu. Its production process takes place in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture where it is also certified and rigorously tested for possible contaminants.
