Houjicha Green Tea
Organic
|
This organic Houjicha (also spelled "Hojicha") green tea is roasted to perfection to produce an amber infusion with flavors of toasted grain and honey, with a pleasant buckwheat aroma. Although this is truly a green tea (in that it lacks oxidation), the leaves are turned brown during the roasting process. According to Japanese research, roasted green tea is lower in caffeine and beneficial to the digestive and circulatory systems. This tea can be brewed with hotter water than most green teas and is devoid of astringency. Unlike many "Japanese" green teas available in the United States, this organic Houjicha is actually grown in Japan.
Ingredients: organic Japanese green tea
Suggested serving size: two level teaspoons
Aubrey Says: Because of the mellow, non-astringent qualities of this tea, I like to drink Houjicha at night.
Jeremy Says: With its brown leaves and rich dark brew, I always find it difficult to believe this is actually a green tea.
