Houjicha Green Tea

Excellent tea

This is such a clean tasting tea, nothing like the green teas I actually don’t like. And it good it’s grown in Australia. Love it!

Solid houjicha

I'm slightly obsessed about houjicha, and I'm stoked that an Australian grown and crafted version is this good. Other houjichas might be a lighter and more refined roast, or darker and more intense, but sometimes I want an unfussy and satisfying cup that just hits the spot like this one. The dry leaves in the bag have a slightly nutty roasted aroma, and the brewed tea has smooth roasted flavour and texture, and even a black-tea-like floral hint. I generally brew it a little different to the directions - 2 big teaspoons for 200-250 ml and 80-90C for 60 seconds, a similar second steep, and a third time around 90-100C for 3 minutes plus (and then a final go with boiling water left overnight, more woody and refreshing). I like that about this tea, that you really can prepare it at whatever water temp takes your fancy. It's unfussy and tastes delicious, a solid everyday houjicha.
