Description: 60g/bag. Hayashiya Ukon Uji Hojicha Tea is a traditional Japanese roasted green tea made from lightly toasted stems sourced from Kyoto's renowned Uji region. Nutritionally, it is naturally low in caffeine, making it an ideal beverage for all-day enjoyment without the jittery side effects associated with higher-caffeine teas like matcha or sencha. While matcha delivers an energy and antioxidant boost, and sencha offers fresh vegetal notes, hojicha stands out with its earthy aroma and soothing, mild flavor. Thanks to its roasting process, this tea contains reduced catechins and caffeine but retains a calming taste that pairs well with meals and desserts. To brew, steep 2 to 3 grams of loose leaves in hot water at around 190°F for 30 to 60 seconds, or cold-brew it for an even more refreshing and mellow experience. This versatile tea can be served hot or iced, and complements Japanese, Western, or Chinese cuisine.
