Hojicha - Wholesale sample (10 g)

Rs. 200.00

Houjicha, directly translated from Japanese as “roasted tea,” is a style of green tea known for its smoky, nutty flavor and warm light to dark brown color. These distinctive characteristics come from a unique production method. Tea leaves and twigs are gently roasted in a porcelain pot over a charcoal flame, then ground into a fine powder. Roasting creates houjicha’s signature aroma and hue while naturally lowering its caffeine content, making it a mild alternative to other green teas.

Our signature houjicha is crafted from stems and leaves of tencha from Uji and is slow roasted at a relatively low temperature to preserve the tea’s natural flavor and balance.
