Introducing this delicious roasted green tea powder - Hōjicha (ほうじ茶) ! You may have also come across it's other spelling Houjicha without the 'ō'. Our Hōjicha primarily made from higher quality Sencha tea leaves (first harvest) rather Banchan leaves. Banchan leaves are considered lower grade tea leaves harvested in second or third harvest which makes it more astringent and sharp. Hōjicha isn't shade covered like matcha, and is steamed, dried and roasted before grinding.

TASTE PROFILE: This is a delicious tea with a nutty and toasty flavour leaving a mellow lingering taste. Similar to roasted rice tea. 

Hōjicha contains less caffeine than matcha at 1.7g per 100g (compared to 3.2g per 100g for matcha). 

HOW TO: You can drink this as a hot tea or consume as a latte. Scoop 1 tsp (1.5g) to 50ml hot water and stir to mix. Top with your choice of frothed milk or hot water. Works great as iced Hōjicha! 

Size: 50g - 50 - 33 servings
Origin: Uji, Kyoto Japan

Best before: 8/24

FAQ

What does Matcha taste like?

It is rich, balanced yet sharp. Our matcha is unique to our organic farm, it smells sweet with earthy undertones, a fruity aroma and tang. Poor quality Matcha will taste bitter and be close to yellow tones as opposed to green tones.

What can I use Matcha for?

Almost anything you like - get creative! Most popular recipes include tea, lattes, chocolate, smoothies, pasta and list goes on.

 

Can I have too much Matcha?

While 1/2 tspn - 1 tspn is all you need to get the benefits of Matcha, there is only so much your body can absorb. One to two servings of Matcha per day is reasonable. But remember, keep everything in moderation.

What's the best way to store Thea Matcha?

Keep in a cool, dry spot, sealed in an airtight container that you can recycle or reuse. Our tins are available in 30g, 50g (limited time) and 100g. To increase the shelf life, storing in fridge is the best option. Keep away from storing in glass as it will expose matcha to sunlight.
