Houjicha Powder - Ceremonial Grade - Organic - Yame, Fukuoka, Japan, 2025 Harvest

Crafted from first harvest stems and leaves (kukicha) grown high in the Yame mountains, this ceremonial grade Houjicha powder offers a luxurious roasted flavor with notes of toasted hazelnut, caramel, and warm wood. Grown organically, using zero pesticides and chemical-free methods, it’s stone-ground from the same high-grade material used in Japan’s top sencha teas. Unlike culinary-grade houjicha, this powder is incredibly smooth, low in caffeine, and free of bitterness - perfect for sipping straight or making rich, nutty lattes. Enjoy it hot, iced, or whisked into baked goods for a cozy, aromatic treat. Grown with care, roasted over charcoal, and milled to perfection - this is houjicha at its finest.
