Hoji Cha |
||
| Early in the 20th century, a Japanese tea merchant, perhaps as a way of saving an overstock of his tea, invented the process of roasting Bancha. In the Kyoto region by early summer when tea leaves from the Japanese Bancha grow too large and coarse to make into Sencha, they are roasted - producing Hoji Cha. Roasting neutralizes the leaves' astringency and, in the process, lowers its caffeine content. If you are looking for a low caffeine, full-flavoured green tea, this is an excellent grade of Hoji Cha, generally not found outside of Japan. Hoji Cha produces a hearty brew - golden brown in colour with a fragrant aroma and distinctive toasty or nutty taste. To be enjoyed anytime of the day - or night! |
