1. What is Houjicha Powder?

   • Houjicha powder is made from finely ground roasted green tea leaves. Unlike traditional steeped teas, this powdered form dissolves directly into water, offering a quick and easy way to enjoy Houjicha’s toasty, nutty flavor without the need for brewing or straining.

2. Distinctive Roasted Flavor:

   • Houjicha powder captures the signature smoky, caramel-like taste of roasted green tea, providing a mild, earthy sweetness that’s both comforting and aromatic. It has a reddish-brown color and a smooth, creamy texture when prepared.

3. Low Caffeine Content:

   • The roasting process significantly reduces the caffeine content, making this tea an excellent choice for evening relaxation or for those sensitive to caffeine. It is also gentle on the stomach.

4. Rich in Antioxidants:

   • Despite being roasted, Houjicha retains antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that support immunity, digestion, and overall wellness.

5. Versatile and Convenient:

   • The powdered form makes it easy to prepare hot tea, iced tea, or lattes. It can also be used in recipes for desserts and smoothies, adding a unique roasted tea flavor.
