Hojicha - Organic Japanese Green Tea
Hojicha (or: Houjicha) is a roasted green tea. The name is composed of the word 'hojiru' for 'toast' and the 'cha' for 'tea'. With a Horoku tea roaster you can even roast your own hojicha from your favourite green tea. KEIKO Hojicha is made from Kabusecha of the 1st and 2nd picking. Hojicha is probably the only green tea that has the right to have a red-brown cup colour. What otherwise indicates a lack of quality is in this case desired. Hochija is a great companion in both the cold and warm seasons. With its warm, mild and nut-like roasting aromas, a hot Hojicha is just right to warm up after a long winter walk. In Japan, Hojicha is often drunk with the whole family at dinner. But it is also great in the summer as a cold refreshment when you are out and about, doing sports or just to accompany your meals.
Storage
In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.
Green tea preparation
Prepare
Provide one cup with a capacity of 80 to 100 ml per person. Depending on the variety, let the boiled water cool down to 80° to 60°C. To do so, pour the water into a cooling bowl or directly into the cups to cool, which also pre-warms them.
Dose
Add one level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay teapot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Let the first infusion steep for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.
Pour
If the tea is served to several people, first pour only a little tea into each cup and then top them up in reverse order. This way the tea is equally strong in all cups. The pouring motion gradually gives the tea its proper green colour. Also pour out the last “golden” drops to prevent the tea from over-steeping.
Enjoy
Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet is often served with the unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Let it steep for only about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already expanded and releases its ingredients more quickly. Serve promptly all round.

Hier kauf ich gerne wieder Grünen Tee
Sehr gute Auswahl und auch sehr gute Qualität in bio. Besser gehts eigentlich nicht. Würde mir wünschen das es hier auch noch andere Grüntee Sorten gibt wie z.B. Sunrouge .

Ein Tee, der Erinnerungen weckt
Der Duft und der Geschmack dieses Houjichas wecken immer wieder aufs Neue die Erinnerung an das Teehaus, wo ich ihn an einem verregneten Herbsttag das erste Mal genießen durfte.

Grüntee mit intensiven Röstgeschmack
Der Houjicha schmeckt rauchig und nussig und erinnert mich an den Geschmack von Genmaicha. Die beiden Tees schmecken bestimmt gut zu Nussecken. Mir schmeckt der Tee sehr gut obwohl der Genmaicha mir noch etwas besser schmeckt.
