Houjicha—directly translated in Japanese to ‘roasted tea’—is a type of green tea recognized for its smoky, nutty flavor profile and light-to-dark brown appearance. Both unique qualities are the result of a similarly distinctive preparation process: Tea leaves and twigs are slow-roasted in a porcelain pot over a charcoal flame before being ground into powder. The roasting process gives houjicha its signature aroma and appearance, while reducing its caffeine content, making it a mild alternative to other green teas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur signature houjicha uses stems and leaves from Tsujiki's tencha and is slow roasted at a relatively low temperature to preserve the flavor and taste of the tea. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Houjicha • Region: Uji, Japan • Net Weight: 20g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"rocky's matcha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50260391067925,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/7791\/8997\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-14at7.33.41PM.png?v=1792020922","url":"https:\/\/ruby-mountain.com\/products\/rockys-matcha-houjicha-20g","provider":"Ruby Mountain Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
