Details

Houjicha, Hojicha. Houjicha, also called Bancha, is made by roasting sencha tea. It is a brown tea with a roasted nutty flavor. The first three steps of producing Houjicha are the same as for Sencha: 1) steaming, 2) drying and creasing, and 3) forming. But to make Houjicha, the tea undergoes an extra step: roasting. Like Sencha, the tea leaves for Houjicha are grown under full sunlight, and contain many catechins. Since Houjicha is roasted in a pan, it does not contain much caffeine. Houjicha is perfect for iced tea. The taste is very smooth and the smell is persistent.
