No, brewing Hojicha with high temperature does not make the tea taste strong. Hojicha is roasted at a higher temperature and the roasting process burns away the bitterness and caffeine. We have three strengths of Hojicha; “Hojicha Lightly Roasted Amber Premium”,” Hojicha Classic” and super mild “San-nen Bancha Roasted Tea” which is aged up to three years. View all Hojicha.
