Houjicha

Houjicha – Roasted Green Tea from Japan

Houjicha is a unique style of Japanese green tea, loved for its comforting roasted aroma and gentle, nutty sweetness. Unlike classic Sencha or Matcha, Houjicha is made from tea leaves, stems, or a blend of both, which are carefully roasted over charcoal or in rotating drums. This process gives the tea its warm, toasty character, reduces bitterness, and lowers its caffeine content – making it a soothing choice in the evening or for anyone who prefers a milder tea.

The infusion shines in a beautiful amber-brown color and carries a smooth, almost caramel-like taste with subtle smokiness. In Japan, Houjicha is a daily favorite, enjoyed by children, the elderly, and tea lovers of all ages thanks to its gentle, stomach-friendly profile. In Europe and beyond, Houjicha is gaining popularity not only as a traditional infusion but also as a versatile ingredient. Finely ground Houjicha powder is used to create creamy Houjicha lattes, soft desserts, ice cream, or even baked goods with a distinctive roasted twist.

Our Houjicha collection comes directly from renowned Japanese tea gardens, crafted with the same care and precision that has made this tea beloved for generations. Whether brewed as loose tea or whisked from powder, Houjicha delivers warmth, balance, and a taste of Japanese tradition in every cup.
