Hojicha is made late in the tea season from bancha leaf ( large leaf that is positioned on the lower part of the tea branches ) that is roasted to give it a hearty flavor for cold weather warming.

Use 1.5 Tablespoons (2-3 grams) per 6 oz of water
Steep 2-3 infusions at 2 minutes each.
Water temperature should be 175˚ - 185˚ F
