Houjicha (Roasted Green Tea) - 100 gram

This fragrant and refreshing Japanese green tea is made by roasting green tea over a high flame. The roasting process diminishes the tannin and caffeine content of the leaves to suppress astringency and bitterness and draw out fragrance. Houjicha is a warm brown color, and since it has a somewhat mild flavor, is popular with children and the elderly. Low in caffeine, Houjicha is also the green tea of choice for infants in Japan.
