What is Hojicha? The most well known Japanese green tea variety is Bancha. Hojicha is made by roasting Bancha leaves at a high temperature until they turn reddish-brown and take on a strong aromatic fragrance and roasted flavor. Why use green tea? It is well known that tea in all of its forms, black, green, roasted and white, has significant antioxidant action. Aging, stress and inhaling polluted air can cause an imbalance of free radicals vs. antioxidant substances, both produced naturally in the body. By including foods or teas with antioxidant action in your diet, you can help restore balance, slowing down and protecting against degenerative processes in the body. How does it taste? Pleasantly nutty and smoky with slightly bitter and astringent undertones. Add a slice of lemon or orange if desired.
