Hōjicha is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal giving the leaf a reddish-brown colour and a rich, warming taste. The roasting process was first performed in Kyoto in the 1920s and Hojicha is still popular in Japan today. The roasting process removes a great deal of the astringency and caffeine is this tea, making it very smooth and easy to drink. Due to the low caffeine levels of this tea, it is particularly good for drinking with meals or even after dinner.
