Houjicha is a type of green tea made by roasting sencha, bancha, or sometimes kukicha (twigs) over a fire in a pot at high temperature until the tea leaves turn reddish-brown. This process reduces the astringency and bitterness, bringing out the light, toasty flavor while lowering the caffeine contained in the tea.
How about Shiraore?: Shiraore is a type of hojicha leaf made with carefully picked stems of the first tea leaves to be harvested of the year (called 'kukicha' with the term kuki meaning a stem). Such a high-grade tea is especially called Karigane or Shiraore twig tea in Japan.
