Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Hojicha is a Japanese roasted green tea, uniquely prepared by roasting the leaves in a porcelain pot over charcoal. This process creates a deep, toasty aroma and a rich, comforting flavor reminiscent of Kyoto. It brews into a warm amber cup with a smooth, high-roast finish.
