Description
Hoji Cha is roasted Japanese tea. It’s also called stem tea because both the bancha tea leaf and stem are blended together and then roasted. The process gives this tea a nutty, warming aroma and flavor. This Hoji Cha has roughly half the caffeine compared to other green teas, due to the inclusion of tea stems. The brew delivers robust flavor without the heaviness, making for a smooth and savory cup of tea.
The tea master where this tea is made was recently awarded Top Tea Connoisseur in Japan. This company bypasses the government tea auctions and purchases their tea directly from the farmers. This way the tea farmers get a higher price for their crop. In addition, the tea manufacturer knows the tea source. You benefit from this arrangement, getting a consistent-tasting and high quality tea.
Lake Missoula Tea Company commits to direct-sourcing teas and botanicals from sustainable farms. First we choose organic ingredients, and then we create our blends in small batches. In short, we love to drink this stuff, and we’re proud to share with you the tastiest, freshest tea possible. Store away from light and oxygen, and your teas will keep for a good long time.
On my first cup now, and it’s just delicious. I’m not a fan of teas that just barely flavor the water. This is definitely robust, and I love the toastiness. Looking forward to getting a bigger bag in my next order. Thanks, Lake Missoula Tea Company!
This might not be a tea that haunts my dreams but it easily earns a place in my tea cupboard. Malty and nutty it is a delightful drink.
Hi TDaddy, good to hear you like Hoji Cha! With less caffeine than the average tea, you can drink it later in the day. Consider trying our Tiramisu next, LMTC
