INFORMATION: Hojicha is made from irregular green tea leaves that were roasted over high heat. Roasted oversized regular green tea leaves as well as their stems are also used. It has a light refreshing flavor. Like Sencha, tea leaves for Hojicha are grown with fully-flooded
sunlight, so that Houjicha contains beneficial Catechin. And since
Hojicha is pan-roasted, it is very low in caffeine. In Japan, Hojicha
is commonly given to babies and people who are sick because it is both
nourishing and low in caffeine.The first 3 processing steps of Hojicha are the same as for Senchs: 1) steaming; 2) drying and crumpling; 3) shaping. But to make Hojicha the goes through one special additional step - roasting.
