Hojicha is a Japanese green tea. This tea differs from other green teas due to its unique preparation method. Hojicha is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal. The roasted tea is then ground into powder. This gives the tea a roasted, nutty sweet taste with an earthy undertone, a subtle hint of cocoa and its unique reddish-brown colour. This special process ensures that hojicha contains less caffeine than tea made in the regular way.
Drink hojicha in the form of a creamy latte as a replacement for or in combination with matcha.
