Organic Japanese roasted green tea Hojicha, 40 g, TERRASANA

Hojicha is a relatively coarse variety of green tea. The earthy and slightly smoky taste of hojicha is obtained when the tea leaves are gently roasted in drum-type ovens immediately after harvesting. To give hojicha a slightly fresher note, a slice of lemon or orange can be added to the slightly cooled tea. Want a sweeter taste? Add a little maple syrup.
