Bancha Houghi Cha Tea

Bancha Hōjicha Tea – Traditional Japanese Roasted Green Tea

Bancha Hōjicha is a traditional Japanese tea created by gently roasting Bancha green tea leaves, resulting in a distinctive flavour and aroma that sets it apart from other green teas. The roasting process transforms the character of the tea, producing a smooth, mellow infusion with subtle nutty and caramel-like notes.

When brewed, Bancha Hōjicha creates a pale golden-yellow liquor with a clean, refreshing finish and a comforting toasted aroma. Its gentle flavour profile makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a milder alternative to more grassy or vegetal green teas.

Popular throughout Japan, this roasted tea is enjoyed for its balanced character and versatility, whether served as part of a daily tea ritual or paired with food.
