At the same time, we worried about wildfires, and contended with smoke-choked air. We are not prepared to gripe about this week\u2019s early snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It swept away the barbecue heat, and cleansed the air. The snow, too, helped snuff the fires plaguing us Front Rangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the inches of wet white stuff, we offer gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The change in weather also compelled us towards earthy, heavily roasted, bold teas. We sought power in our tea this week, rather than subtlety. Teas to sip in front of a fire while wrapped in a blanket \u2014 that was the ticket during this second week of September, and will remain so as autumn ratchets down the temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chris-lawton-PyRU3x6EJoI-unsplash-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Robuts teas include hojicha from Japan\" class=\"wp-image-780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chris-lawton-PyRU3x6EJoI-unsplash-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chris-lawton-PyRU3x6EJoI-unsplash-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chris-lawton-PyRU3x6EJoI-unsplash-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chris-lawton-PyRU3x6EJoI-unsplash-2-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robust teas include hojicha, a deep-roasted green tea from Japan (Photo by Chris Lawton for Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hojicha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people associate Japan with grassy green teas. After all, its most famous tea, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Matcha\/526\">matcha<\/a>, is almost blindingly green and offers flavors often described as vegetal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the island nation produces a diversity of roasted teas, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/HoJi%20Cha\/474\">hojicha<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both matcha and hojicha are green teas. But where tea leaves destined for matcha are just steamed to stop oxidation, leaves for hojicha get tossed in porcelain pots over charcoal after steaming. The steaming step is one key difference between many Chinese and Japanese teas; most tea artisans in China rely entirely on roasting. With hojicha, the roasting at high temperatures turns the leaves reddish brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intense roasting process informs hojicha\u2019s unique flavor. Instead of variations on a theme of meadow, this green tea broadcasts an almost caramel flavor. When brewed it also perfumes the room with slight smoky aromas. In Japan, tea shop owners often brew hojicha to lure passerby into their stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the heat applied to hojicha mitigates the tea\u2019s caffeine content. Consider: matcha contains about 3.2 grams of caffeine per 100 grams of liquid, but hojicha\u2019s caffeine content is only 0.13 grams. As a result, it is popular with children and as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/camping-teas-ku-cha-house-of-tea\/\">after-dinner tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hojicha is relatively new, for tea. People in Kyoto began crafting hojicha in the 1920s. We thank them for their ingenuity. Hojicha\u2019s robust roasted flavors delight us any time, but especially when we desire warming up!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/white-rainforest-4ZF7LnWKOQQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Bold teas include Da Hong Pao\" class=\"wp-image-781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/white-rainforest-4ZF7LnWKOQQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/white-rainforest-4ZF7LnWKOQQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/white-rainforest-4ZF7LnWKOQQ-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/white-rainforest-4ZF7LnWKOQQ-unsplash-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Da Hong Pao, one of many bold teas crafted in China, complements cold weather.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Da Hong Pao<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxidation is one thing that separates green teas from oolongs. Where greens undergo little oxidation, oolongs spend more time in the open absorbing oxygen. Exposure to the third-most abundant element in the universe transforms tea leaves\u2019 flavor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other things, oolong flavors generally offer a bit more earthiness than straight greens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Rock%20Oolong%20-%20Da%20Hong%20Pao\/203\">Da Hong Pao<\/a> is China\u2019s most famous rock oolong tea, and it comes from the most revered area for oolong artisanship: the WuYi mountains in southeast China\u2019s Fujian Province. Rock oolongs get their name due to their terroir \u2014 these tea bushes grown in rocky mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as \u201cBig Red Robe\u201d in Chinese, Da Hong Pao is extremely oxidized for an oolong, and redolent with bold flavors. It also can be extremely expensive. Our Da Hong Pao is outstanding. We sell it for $34.95 for two ounces. But some of them sell for more than $1,000 for a single gram! In fact, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/travel\/story\/20160425-the-pot-of-tea-that-costs-10000\">a story in the BBC<\/a>, a tea fanatic paid $28,000 for 20 grams of the tea in 2002.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between most Da Hong Paos and the ultra-expensive ones? The glamorous teas come from the original Da Hong Pao trees, which are extremely limited; the vast majority of the teas come from cuttings of those original trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Da Hong Pao is known for its strong fragrance and rich, roasted flavor. A lingering sweetness follows the initial, bold sips. Among bold teas, it is one of our favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ben-karpinski-ctWw2S9VqOI-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Rou Gui is a bold oolong from the WuYi Mountains.\" class=\"wp-image-782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ben-karpinski-ctWw2S9VqOI-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ben-karpinski-ctWw2S9VqOI-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ben-karpinski-ctWw2S9VqOI-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ben-karpinski-ctWw2S9VqOI-unsplash-1600x1068.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">China&#8217;s WuYi Mountains in Fujian Province produce rock oolongs, considered the finest oolongs in the world.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rou Gui Rock Oolong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This rock oolong is even more oxidized than Da Hong Pao.

Golden Monkey also comes from the nearby Yunnan Province. In both provinces, mountains dominate the environment for growing Golden Monkey tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea cultivation and consumption are ancient practices in China, and tea lovers have savored Golden Monkey for centuries \u2014 some scholars estimate people have been drinking the tea for more than 1,700 years. Despite its deep roots in China, Golden Monkey remains fairly new to the rest of the world. Exports began only 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tea gets its name from its appearance. Only buds and first leaves are picked, and tea leaves used for Golden Monkey contain gold threading. At the same time, the leaves look a bit like monkey hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We adore Golden Monkey for its vivid flavors and aromas. Few things beat a cup of warm Golden Monkey on a cool morning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sheri-silver-9DYh4huA9OQ-unsplash-1024x753.jpg\" alt=\"Vanila rooibos is a good bold tea for a cold day.\" class=\"wp-image-784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sheri-silver-9DYh4huA9OQ-unsplash-1024x753.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sheri-silver-9DYh4huA9OQ-unsplash-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sheri-silver-9DYh4huA9OQ-unsplash-768x564.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sheri-silver-9DYh4huA9OQ-unsplash-1600x1176.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our vanilla rooibos spiked with honey and softened with milk is a perfect accompaniment for sweet treats.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vanilla Rooibos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we turn to a cold-weather tea that will thrill children.
