Large, flat leaves are roasted giving this tea its unique, rich nutty taste and earthy aroma.
Like many of the world’s great teas, Hojicha was discovered through a process of curiosity and innovation. During the 1920s, a tea master living in Kyoto Japan discovered the method for producing the tea using common materials he found around the house. Rather than steam a batch of freshly plucked leaf – the traditional method of Japanese style green tea production – the master decided he would roast it in a porcelain pot over burning charcoal. The result, as history would attest, was delicious.

Tea at the White House Advent Calendar 2023 – Day 13
Well this was a surprise coming from this advent!
I admit I’m a bit of a hojicha snob these days, but this was still good. Basic run-of-the-mill hojicha with a lot of grassiness and not much nuance, but still so cozy for a rainy day like today. Definitely more sharp than some of the hojicha I’ve become accustomed to though.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Bitter, Cardboard, Dry Grass, Dry Leaves, Grassy, Roasted, Woody
