Hojicha comes with a nutty and toasty flavour. It provides health benefits which include providing a sense of relaxation through L-Theanine which is found inside the Hojicha. So, what is L-Theanine? It is an amino acid that is usually found in green tea that helps with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Hojicha is also packed with vitamin A, C and E which are known for fighting against colds and improving our immune system. Vitamin C is also known to help keep your skin looking flawless and youthful.
Unlike coffee and green tea, Hojicha is almost calories free after its roasting process. This makes the drink ideal in helping with weight loss. In addition, the high antioxidants found in Hojicha aids in flushing out harmful free radicals in our body. The antioxidants also act as a natural purifying and detoxifying agent. The high level of catechins also help to reduce cholesterol levels and risk of heart diseases.
As Hojicha is roasted at a very high temperature, this process increases the level of pyrazine, a chemical found in tea that helps to improve our blood circulation and keeps you warm and relaxed.
Hojicha is also known to improve our oral health due to the polyphenols that are present in its leaves. Studies revealed that polyphenols have antibacterial qualities that can combat tooth decays and gum diseases. Polyphenols also have anti-inflammatory qualities that help with battling inflammation in joints and prevent damages to our joints.
Unlike other teas, Hojicha has a refreshing flavour. The low level of amino acid in Hojicha gives it a clean aftertaste. The moderate body and taste of this earthy flavoured tea serve as a wonderful palate cleanser. Hence, Hojicha is a regular tea served during and after meals in Japan.
