Freshly Roasted Hojicha at Home

 I joined a webinar via Zoom for the first time. Since it started at 9 pm, I needed something less caffeine tea like hojicha. But no hojicha left at home…In that case...make my own hojicha!! 

 I roasted green tea that I have with a “horoku”, which is used for roasting tea leaves, sesame etc. While roasting gently, a beautiful aroma spread in the kitchen. 
Once roasted, the tea is coming from the Horoku handle.

I enjoyed the webinar together with the freshly roasted Hojicha in a very special cup designed by a friend of mine.:-)
