Hojicha (Roasted, Sun-Grown Green Tea)

Origin: Japan

Hojicha was the invention of a Kyoto tea merchant in the 1920s, who rendered green tea leaves brown by roasting sun-grown Bancha, a summer crop tea harvested after Sencha tea leaves. This process leaves the tea toasty and nutty with no bitterness. Hojicha tea is high in cancer-fighting catechins and anti-aging antioxidants. It is known for the low amounts of caffeine and tannin, making it suitable as an evening tea and also for children and elders. Earthy with a warm quality, it has a soothing, clean finish.

Place 2 teaspoons into a mug and pour 220ml of hot milk & enjoy. Add honey or brown sugar to taste
