Hojicha意思

"Hoji-cha" (ほうじ茶) is a type of Japanese green tea that is roasted over charcoal, which gives it a distinctive aroma and flavor. The word "hoji" means "roasted" in Japanese, and "cha" means "tea."

Hoji-cha is made by roasting bancha, which is a lower grade of green tea made from the leaves and twigs of the tea plant. The roasting process stops the oxidation of the tea, which gives it a darker color and a nuttier, more caramel-like flavor compared to other green teas.

Hoji-cha is popular in Japan for its unique flavor and is also believed to have several health benefits, such as aiding in digestion and reducing stress. It is often served hot in the winter and cold in the summer, and it can be enjoyed on its own or with added sugar or milk.
