rocky's matcha Houjicha 20g
Description
rocky's matcha signature Houjicha, also known as hojicha, is sourced from Mr. Kiyoharu Tsuji, an award-winning, fifth-generation tea farmer. While traditional matcha consists of unroasted, shade-grown tencha ground into a vibrant green powder, houjicha is typically made from bancha, more mature leaves that are harvested later in the season, and roasted at high temperatures.
Our Houjicha uses stems and leaves from Tsuji's tencha, slow-roasted at a relatively low temperature over a charcoal flame to preserve its flavor. The roasting transforms the leaves from green to a tannish brown and develops the tea's signature profile: sweet, nutty, and toasty, with a subtle smokiness and creamy mouthfeel. As a result, houjicha carries less caffeine than matcha, making it a great alternative for an afternoon cup.

Blind buy. I'm not a fan. I'll stick to the matcha. good quality though.

This is amazing as a plain tea as well as a latte (I add agave nectar and kosher salt to my lattes). The woody flavor reminds me of my favorite Neapolitan pizza place.

This is my first time buying houjica, I did my research on how to prepare it ( it's similar to mixing matcha with recommendation of adding a little bit of sugar with it) and how people feel about. Some do not like it and compare the taste to tobacco (some people do like that tho) others say it is a roasted nutty flavor that brings out the bold of matcha that people love. I am in the second group and I will be buying this again. If you are someone who loves the smell and taste of matcha, which is a very nutty, tea taste, I recommend this to try because it brings out that boldness and keeps it at a high, not even oat milk can drown the taste.
