Hojicha is a roasted tea made at high temperatures, which turns the dried leaves into a light brown colour and removes the majority of the bitterness. It is often referred to as "people's tea" and is typically served during or after meals in Japan. This tea has a light 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.
