[hoe-jee-cha]         Roasted Twig Tea

A delicate, yet robust organic tea of roasted leaves and stalks, which give a taste and aroma unlike that of any other Japanese teas. The name means "lightly roasted tea." The infusion is golden brown. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly baked bread, roasted grains, toasted oak, or chestnuts with a hint of sweet caramel. Each sip carries the feeling of sitting by a fire while reminiscing about the seaside. It is often used in Japan as a non-alcoholic digestif, which makes it a particularly good drink after a substantial meal. It gives a rich, warming brew even after several infusions.

Hojicha is sold in 50g packets for $18.00
