From Tea Time One

Hojicha is a Japanese green tea that originated in Kyoto almost 100 years ago. The name Hojicha itself means “roasted tea”. Unlike traditional green teas, hojicha is baked after steaming the leaves. The baking process removes the bitterness and gives Hojichi its characteristic earthy scent, reddish-brown color and unique baked taste. The roasting process extracts almost all the caffeine from the tea and Hojicha is the perfect coffee alternative for those looking for a cozy and warm drink in the afternoon or evening.

GONG FU
I never really drink Japanese green teas, because I find steamed green teas to be too vegetal for me. But when I heard about roasted Japanese green tea, I knew I had to try it. And I loved it, the smell of dry leaves really reminds me of genmaicha, but a bit nuttier. The liqour is smooth and deep, with beautiful nutty and salty quality to it. On few infusions I got notes of Salted Caramel which I really enjoyed. All in all a very enjoyable tea!
