Hojicha is a roasted tea at high temperatures turning the dried leaves into a light brown colour and removing the majority of the bitterness. It is often referred to as "people's tea" and is generally served during or after a meal in Japan. This tea has a light-reddish-brown appearance with a mild and sweet toasty flavour. It has less caffeine than other Japanese teas making it a great afternoon or evening drink.
