This is a powdered tea made by roasting tea leaves once more and grinding them finely like matcha. The leaves are heated and roasted once, so the bitterness or astringency unique to leaf tea disappears and the rich flavor takes over. It is a tea that is easy for anyone to approach because it has almost no astringency and low caffeine.The rich aroma and lightly burnt taste are attractive. Hojicha is rich in vitamin C, which is five times that of lemon, and is rich in theanine, which helps improve blood circulation and relieve stress. It also contains abundant catechin, which helps burn body fat and has antibacterial effects.
