Hojicha (ほうじ茶) is a Japanese green tea that is distinctive for its roasted flavor and reddish-brown color. Our roasting process gives Hojicha its characteristic nutty, toasty, and slightly caramelized taste. Unlike most green teas, which are steamed to prevent oxidation, Hojicha is intentionally oxidized through the roasting process.
