Hojicha Powder – Roasted Green Tea, Ground to Perfection

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.
