This hojicha is made from green tea leaves and stems are processed in the Sencha style and then gently roasted to bring out a delicate, smoky aroma. The roasting process lowers the caffeine contents of the tea, so it is a great low caffeine tea option that can be enjoyed hot or iced throughout the day.
