The supplier of this tea first opened for business more than 350 years ago. They specialize in tea from Uji, a famous tea growing area close to Kyoto. Two of the three historic and honorable tea schools in Japan, Omotesenke and Urasenke, prefer their tea. Hoji-cha ("roasted tea") is a green tea from Japan. It is different from other teas because it is roasted over charcoal, giving the leaves a brown appearance despite the fact that they are actually green tea leaves. This process was first performed in Kyoto in the 1920's and its popularity persists today. This hoji-cha tea is very well known for its flavor, clarity and low caffeine.
