Roasted Tea

This hojicha is made from the stems of tencha, the same carefully shaded leaf that becomes matcha, then roasted until it opens into something entirely different. The roasting process results in a high, toasty aroma reminiscent of barley tea, without any bitterness. The flavor is intentionally light, clean and thirst-quenching rather than rich and heavy. It can be paired alongside a meal, after grilled meats, paired with sweets, or chilled and poured over ice in summer.
