Houjicha teas have a light to reddish brown appearance and are less astringent due to losing catechins during the high-temperature roasting process. The roasted flavors are extracted and dominate this blend: the roasting replaces the vegetative tones of standard green tea with a toasty, slightly caramel-like flavor. The roasting process used to make Houjicha also lowers the amount of caffeine in the tea. Because of its mildness, Houjicha is a popular tea to serve during an evening meal before or after going to sleep and is preferred by children and the elderly.
When you drink hojicha for the first time, you might be surprised that it is a type of Japanese green tea, given its amber color. This roasted bancha releases an amazingly rich aroma that completely fills the room when brewed. Its flavor is light-bodied, without much astringency.
Houjicha Shiro Hachiman is intense and tasty and can be drunk hot or cold.

Houjicha Shiro Hachiman
J’ai acheté le Houjicha pour le faire froid. C’est incroyablement bon et rafraichissant même sans sucre. J’ai essayé aussi avec un peu de jus de citron, parfait
