# Event Details - **Event Name**: Roast Your Own Hojicha - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm - **Event Description**: Explore how Hojicha and Bancha came to be, how they are processed and why roasting changes everything from aroma to mood.About this EventBancha and Hojicha are everyday teas with a lot of personality. They carry the warmth and comfort of home, and the quiet magic that happens when simple leaves meet fire. In this workshop, we explore how these teas came to be, how they are processed and why roasting changes everything from aroma to mood.After tasting and comparing several teas, we will get hands-on with a horoku (焙烙), where you will roast some tea leaves and transform them into hojicha! Everyone goes home with two servings of the Hojicha they create, so the fun continues at home. Be sure to bring a small container or resealable bag for your roasted tea.Whether you already love the toasty sweetness of Hojicha or you’re curious about the honest charm of Bancha, this workshop offers a deeper look at the teas that quietly shape daily life in Japan. It’s part learning, part roasting, part delicious experimentation. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/81307a60-df24-11f0-91ad-252c3bcf1605-rimg-w555-h740-dcd8d8da-gmir.jpg About the Japanese Tea Workshop series:Led by Japanese tea educator Janice Chan, this series explores Japanese tea as culture, craft, and everyday life.About the Instructor:Janice Chan is the Global Japanese Tea Association (GJTea) representative for Western Canada and co-founder of Teakan.
