From Hōjicha Co.

Hojicha Classic is a Japanese roasted green tea with a rich flavor and a pleasant aroma distinctive of Kyoto.

Japanese green tea was first roasted in Kyoto over a century ago. Tea drinkers were delighted by the sweet and smoky flavor of this green tea, and the aroma alone would attract passersby into tea shops.

Today, Kyoto is still renowned for producing the finest roasted green tea. Walking along the streets of Kyoto, the pleasant aroma fills the air as green tea is freshly roasted and prepared. As you sit down in a tea house, you’ll be greeted with a cup of roasted tea that will soothe and warm you. The unique green tea is also served during dinner, as it is low in caffeine.

Hojicha Classic is crafted to offer the same authentic experience enjoyed by those visiting a quiet tea house in Kyoto. The single-origin tea is made from tea leaves grown in the hills of Kyoto, which are steamed, rolled, dried, and then skillfully roasted in small batches, removing any bitterness. Hojicha Classic is the perfect tea for those new to roasted green tea, as well as for those wishing to be transported to Kyoto for a peaceful moment.

Cupped this one today when I got home from work…

Even though the name clearly takes reference from what is a typical “classic roast” for this style of green tea, I had a good laugh that the newest tea in their assortment is called “Classic” when usually, for a company, the Classic ‘flavour’ is typically the first or one of the first they carry. It’s nice, though the most overtly “green tasting” of the line up, in my opinion. Reminds me of those roasted seaweed snacks you can get at the Asian Market, with peanut or sesame paste notes too.

The Dark Roast is still my favourite, though the one I tried a few days ago was damn good too. For those keeping score, yes I do own this company’s entire catalog of tea now. I really like Hojicha…
