Tea Details:
Cultivar: Yabukita
Harvests: Autumn
Process: harvest is steamed and dried as per regular loose leaf tea, but undergoes two additional steps: roasting and milling.
Roasting is the key step that defines hojicha, and subjecting the leaves or stems to high temperatures develops a deep flavor and aroma. The process is carefully controlled to roast the tea to just before the point of burning, maximizing the umami and aroma without creating a bitter taste.
Modern methods may use rotary roasters for uniformity, while traditional methods might use porcelain pots over charcoal.
