Hojicha is roasted green tea beloved for its nutty, cocoa-like flavor profile. To make this tea, our farm partner slowly roasted sencha over charcoal. Due to the high temperatures used in this process and because of the inclusion of twigs and stems, hojicha is naturally low in caffeine.

Hojicha

I generally enjoy green and black teas, so this roasted green variant fused the best of the vegetal flavor of green with the robust earthiness of a black tea. I would recommend to any who are interested in a flavor between these poles. I appreciate the Paru team for pointing out this flavor as a challenge to what I am typically used to.
