Hojicha

Roasted green tea

Roasted at a high temperature, this tea gives off a very pleasant fragrance and produces a gentle sensation in the mouth. Less caffeine than other green teas and gentle on the stomach. Lovely brown color.

How to prepare Hojicha:

• Put the tea into a sufficiently large teapot. For five people use three tablespoons (around 15 g / ½ oz).
• Pour the boiling water all at once into the teapot and let it steep for thirty-seconds
• Pour the liquid into each cup over several pourings in such a way that the strength of the tea will be equal for each cup. Empty all the liquid from the teapot.
  For the second infusion, let it steep for ten-seconds.
  With a pinch of salt, Hojicha tastes even better.
