Organic Hojicha

Green Tea by O-Cha.com

From Uji, Hojicha, or Houjicha is a green tea that has been roasted, imparting a red color and a very unique taste. Since the baking process removes the caffeine, this tea is often served in Japan to patients in hospitals, and to children. Excellent iced, you will often find this tea served in Japanese restaurants. Certified organic. As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen filled bags.

I was expecting something very bland or burnt-tasting, but it was a very mild, soft, round flavor. Comforting, relaxing for the evening. I will definitely be keeping this in my stash.

My second try of this tea. It has a pleasant toasted flavor, not strong or smokey or wooden. Mellow, subtle. The toasted flavor makes me think of how fall oak leaves smell, if that makes sense. It has a satisfying flavor that is very easy to drink.

A little nutty, a warm flavor. I drink this in the evenings when I am working but don’t want the caffeine to keep me awake.
