Hojicha(ほうじ茶), sometimes spelled houjicha or written hoji cha, is a roasted Japanese green tea.  The level of roast varies, but tends to be heavier than most roasted teas, giving the leaves and tea an appearance, flavor, and aroma totally distinct from most green teas, and indeed, from any other teas.  This particular roast is from Asamiya and is considered "deep roasted" because it's roasted for a longer amount of time.   This delivers more notes of smoke and an even more complex deep flavor.
