Roasted delicately by tea farmer Mataki Tatefumi until just before the leaves begin to turn brown, this Green Hojicha or Aohojicha 青ほうじ茶 can be considered a very light roast or a very strong green roasting.
Mataki Tatefumi practices the Chagusaba agricultural method for growing tea leaves in which grass (primarily suzuki) grown around the fields are cut, dried, and laid between the tea hedges to prevent weed growth and to fertilize the soil.
