Roasted Tea

This hojicha is made in Mie Prefecture from the stems of tencha, the carefully shaded leaf used to make matcha. Roasting opens it into something entirely different, with a high, toasty aroma reminiscent of barley tea and no bitterness. The flavor is intentionally light, clean, and thirst-quenching rather than rich or heavy. Enjoy it alongside a meal, after grilled dishes, with sweets, or chilled over ice in summer.
