Houjicha

Distinctive, cozy, and deeply aromatic, Houjicha sets itself apart from all other Japanese green teas through its unique roasting process. Instead of being steamed, the tea leaves are slow-roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal, transforming them into a rich reddish-brown color with a signature warm, nutty flavor and smooth, smoky sweetness. Because the roasting process naturally lowers the tea's tannins and astringency, it makes for an exceptionally gentle, soothing cup that’s perfect for any time of day!

Fun Fact: Roasting the leaves over high heat dramatically reduces their bitterness, giving Houjicha its famous naturally sweet, toasted flavor profile!
