Hojicha, 2024

Hojicha | "Baked tea"

Shizuoka, Tuba, Honshu, Japan

Very special tea with 100 years of history. Made from Bancha (mature leaves) and roasted under high temperatures, this tea is very different compared to other green tea in Japan. Tea leaves are deep-fried and then quickly cooled. As in the case of Kukicha, due to the fact that the raw material consists of leaves and a large number of stems, this tea is almost free of caffeine. Due to a specific process, this tea has a unique flavour and definitely deserves special attention.

Cultivar: Yabukita

Harvest: Spring, 2024

Due to the peculiarities of tea leaf processing, green tea retains the maximum amount of vitamins and microelements. Green tea is harvested and produced in spring from the youngest buds and leaves, which gives the tea a fresh aroma and sweet, refined taste. This tea is very pleasant to drink in the warm season, regulating body temperature. Green tea has the largest amount of tein, tea caffeine, so we recommend drinking this tea in the morning.
