Organic Houjicha Powder

Description Roasted Organic Green Tea, Powder Houjicha ほうじ茶(AKA hojicha) is good quality Japanese green tea that is roasted in the final stage of its preparation. In less skilled hands than our artisan supplier, Houjucha often has a burnt odor and taste.

Houjicha is especially refreshing when served chilled on a hot day and is significantly lower in caffeine than other green teas. It is often served with the evening meal in Japan. Organic Houjicha has been produced according to the strict guidelines of the JAS (Japan Agricultural Standard) and is certified organic. Our hojicha powder is made from premium Sencha an
