A flavoursome and comforting roasted tea with a nutty, toasty finish

Japanese Australian Grown Houjicha (hor-jee-cha) is a roasted, flavoursome green tea that has lingering savoury, toasty notes, and a beautiful golden-brown liquor. Houjicha starts off as a steamed green tea however the leaves go through an additional step of roasting during processing, which transforms the flavour profile from vegetal to roasted and nutty. If you’re a black tea drinker, this is a good entry point for your green tea journey. Enjoy Houjicha with meals or at any time of the day. It also makes an excellent base for an iced green tea creations and can be cold brewed easily.

Solid houjicha

I'm slightly obsessed about houjicha, and I'm stoked that an Australian grown and crafted version is this good. Other houjichas might be a lighter and more refined roast, or darker and more intense, but sometimes I want an unfussy and satisfying cup that just hits the spot like this one. The dry leaves in the bag have a slightly nutty roasted aroma, and the brewed tea has smooth roasted flavour and texture, and even a black-tea-like floral hint. I generally brew it a little different to the directions - 2 big teaspoons for 200-250 ml and 80-90C for 60 seconds, a similar second steep, and a third time around 90-100C for 3 minutes plus (and then a final go with boiling water left overnight, more woody and refreshing). I like that about this tea, that you really can prepare it at whatever water temp takes your fancy. It's unfussy and tastes delicious, a solid everyday houjicha.

One teaspoon everyday

Houjicha

I learned about this tea from a library book which suggested it is a good tea to have with food. And it is. I enjoy it that way but it is also a good sipping tea with a lot of character. In fact, I'm going to make some right now! Delicious.

A perfect green tea does not exi...

Houjicha green tea is a great alternative to other green teas available if you don't like grassiness but still want to enjoy the benefits of green tea. Houjicha has a beautiful, toasted aroma and smooth taste. I love it.

A lovely refreshing green tea … grown in Australia!

Refreshing tea to have after meals, not too bitter, and mostly environmental packaging although miss the steel top that used to come with the brand that would negate the need to use the plastic bag for the tea inside the canister?
