Highlights
  • Roasted for a nutty, caramel-like flavor
  • Low in caffeine
  • Smooth and less bitter than regular green tea

Instead of just steaming green tea leaves, houjicha is made by first steaming then roasting the leaves in a porcelain pot over charcoal at 200°C (~400°F), resulting in a tea with a nutty, caramel-like flavor. The leaves have a distinct earthy color and the tea is less bitter than other green teas. It has minimal caffeine making it a great choice even for children or before bed.
