By blending some of the tea leaves with gingane, a mild sweetness and a savory aroma can be produced. The tea leaves are roasted over an open flame. By changing the roasting time over an open flame each time, the aroma of the hojicha is made even more pronounced.

The roasting process is designed to have depth, which prevents the sweetness in the tea from changing to an astringent component, allowing the tea to have a soothing astringency and a soft sweetness at the same time.
