Hojicha Japanese Roasted Green Tea Teh Hijau Panggang Jepang
Like many of the worlds great teas, Hojicha was discovered through a process of curiosity and innovation. During the 1920s, a tea master living in Kyoto Japan discovered the method for producing the tea using common materials he found around the house. Rather than steam a batch of freshly plucked leaf - the traditional method of Japanese style green tea production - the master decided he would roast it in a porcelain pot over burning charcoal. The result, as history would attest, was delicious.
Until recently, the Kyoto region was still home to much of the worlds Hojicha crop, and served as the source of 100% of our supplier's stock. However, since the tragic nuclear event at Fukushima in March of 2011, much of the regions tea crop has become tainted with radioactive Cesium 137, forcing many tea companies, our supplier included to find new sources for our Japanese style teas. During the fall of 2011, in the interest of food safety, our company partnered with a tea producer in China that had been producing Japanese styled teas for the Japanese market for many years. Subsequently, were pleased to report that the flavor and quality of this China sourced Hojicha is as high as it is safe for consumption.
The roasted leaves become red-brown in color and as a result of the roasting, this tea is sweeter. The tea is also less astringent due to the high temperature roasting process.
