Houjicha is roasted sencha. Heated on fire or electric heater, houjicha has a special "roast" smell and hence the name in Japanese "Roast-Tea". Our houjicha is a dark roast houjicha giving more roast aroma. The color of the tea is brownish-orange, resembling moonlight in autumn harvest season. 
 
Houjicha is suitable for drinking after a big feast and it has relatively lower caffeine.
 
This Houjicha Powder is grounded using almost matcha grinding technology in Japan: more velvety and smooth mouthfeel for latte and baking pastries or desserts, almost like matcha quality.
 
Origin: Shizuoka, Japan
