Hōjicha products are reprocessed teas. Because tea producers roast Sencha or Bancha or Kukicha to make this tea, it results in brown-colored leaves and produces a brown-colored beverage. In addition, the roasting process makes most caffeine sublimated. And Hōjicha has less catechins, amino acids, and vitamin C than Sencha. Therefore, if you are concerned about caffeine, we recommend you to try this tea. And please enjoy its savory and roasted aroma and taste. Also, please brew in a shorter time with boiling water, because boiling water helps to enhance savory aroma. And you can enjoy Hōjicha with a larger thick teapot and teacup. And be careful not to burn your tongue!
