Hojicha Roasted Green Tea, Organic
Hojicha Roasted Green Tea, Organic
Our Haiku Organic Japanese teas are imported from the Uji district of Japan for a luxurious, authentic tea-drinking experience. The Uji district has been harvesting and cultivating tea since the 13th century. Roasting tea was discovered in Japan during the 1920's. The deep, pleasant aroma of roasted green tea drew customers to the local shops where tea lovers tasted hojicha roasted green tea for the first time. Since then roasted teas have gained popularity due to their deep smoky aroma, amber color, and smooth, luxurious flavor.
Hojicha roasted green tea is a sencha green tea that has been further pan-roasted to enhance the aroma and flavor. Haiku teas are harvested in early summer, the hojicha leaves and small twigs are steamed and roasted in revolving ovens with the aid of volcanic sand for slow, even roasting. The sand is later removed resulting in a tea with a rich, sweet, nutty, smoky flavor.
Haiku Organic Hojicha Roasted Green tea is available in teabags or loose tea. In addition, we also offer our premium hojicha roasted green tea as part of our Green Tea Collection.
