Hojicha is distinctive from all other green teas from Japan because it is roasted over charcoal in a porcelain pot. It is enjoyed after dinner because of its low caffeine content, unique toasty flavor, and ability to aid digestion. Hojicha has a pleasant nutty flavor and toasted fragrance and is packed with antioxidants. Hojicha provides a sense of relaxation both in physical and mental health and is known to boost the immune system.
An Urth exclusive, certified organic Hojicha comes from the small family farm that also produces organic matcha exclusively for Urth Caffé at the Entsu Estate in Wazuka, Japan. Hojicha whole roasted green tea leaves are available for purchase online in 2oz and 4oz quantities.
