Premium Rostat Grönt Hojicha-Te, Ushijima, 200 g

Hojicha is one of the most regularly consumed teas in Japan. The leaves for hojicha tea are made by roasting regular sencha and bancha leaves until they turn brown. The roasting eliminates the bitterness found in some other green teas, leaving behind a smokiness and sweetness. To try out some amazing hojicha, take a look at Japan Centre's Tea section.
