MORE DETAILS
Organic Eden Hojicha Chai is made from larger, coarser new green tea leaves of Summer that have begun to lose their caffeine strength. The leaves are immediately steamed, rubbed, and partially dried, just as they are for green tea. Before the leaves are completely dried though, they are placed in gas fired rotating iron ovens to be slowly roasted and then cooled. Roasting the leaves gives it a rounded, deep flavor similar to that of English tea. Hojicha is expertly blended with a blend of organically grown spices: cinnamon bark Indonesia/Viet Nam, cardamom seed Guatemala, ginger root India/Tanzania, star anise Viet Nam, roasted chicory root France, and cloves Madagascar.
