Houjicha | Japanese Roasted Green Tea

Organic Houjicha, single origin roasted Bancha green tea. Grown in Uji, Japan.

Houjicha is a traditional style of Japanese green tea made with leaves from the autumn and winter harvests. An additional hot roasting transforms green bancha tea into light brown leaves that brew an amber-red infusion. While it looks dark, Houjicha is technically a green tea, offering a uniquely smooth flavor with accents of chocolate, coffee and roasted barley.

1 oz. / 28 grams of organic Houjicha in a rice paper pouch. 

Steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea in water (185 degrees) for 1-2 minutes.
