Japanese Hojicha Green Tea

Hojicha is a japanese green tea that is mainly bancha which is lightly roasted, giving it a nutty flavor.

It is a fun, everyday drink that goes well with Japanese foods, particularly any food strongly flavored with soy sauce.

Its liquor is tawny brownish color with a smoky taste.

Although best when hot, it also can be served cool but not cold.

It is excellent at nighttime, as it is very light and low in caffeine.

Because of its delightfully toasty flavor, many tea drinkers find it to be very relaxing.
