HOUJICHA POWDER 焙茶粉

$30.00

This premium roasted green tea powder is a lesson in purity. While many conventional houjicha powders blend stems and leaves from teas leftover in production, we believe in preserving quality and flavor. This roast uses only the first flush stems of matcha tea leaves, sourced from Yame, Japan, a region celebrated for its rich heritage and tea craftsmanship.

Rich yet balanced, with a smooth and subtle mouthfeel, this roast shines brightest as a latte—offering a velvety, nutty indulgence to your tea routine.

TASTING NOTES:

 

EARTHY

Grounded and robust, earthy notes offer a deep, mineral-rich character akin to damp soil or moss after rain.

TOASTED WALNUT

A robust and hearty note, toasted walnut brings a smoky nuttiness with a slightly sweet and bitter edge.

SUBTLE SWEETNESS

Delicate and understated, this sweetness adds a whisper of honey or sugar, enhancing flavors without overpowering them.


REGION:
YAME, JAPAN

Yame, located in Fukuoka Prefecture on Kyushu Island, is renowned for producing some of Japan’s finest teas, particularly Gyokuro and high-quality Sencha. The region benefits from a temperate climate with warm summers, mild winters, and abundant rainfall, creating ideal conditions for tea cultivation.

The surrounding mountains provide natural shade and protect the tea fields from strong winds, while the region’s misty mornings enhance the development of rich umami flavors in the tea leaves. Yame’s fertile, well-draining soils further contribute to the production of tea with deep, complex flavors and a smooth finish, making it a prized area for Japanese tea.
