Houjicha Tea by Matchaeologist 100g - Houjicha Powder

Matchaeologist's signature Uji houjicha powder is deep roasted to bring out the captivating toasty aromas with a hint of caramelised sugar — ideal for use in recipes.

This reserve houjicha powder is made from carefully selected tea leaves from the renowned tea-growing region of Uji that are steamed, dried, and artisan roasted to bring out the distinctive aromas of toasted nuts, coffee, and caramelised sugar. We use proprietary ‘deep-roasting’ techniques, manually calibrating the roasting time and temperature to imbue the tea with the perfect intensity and robustness. This roasted tea is milled into a fine powder, which can easily be incorporated into any drink or dessert recipes such as houjicha lattes, ice-cream and desserts.

About our matcha
We work closely with our trusted matcha sommeliers based in Kyoto, having spent several years formulating a range of artisanal matcha of the finest quality. Each batch of our matcha, which is ground from hand-picked virgin tea buds, undergoes a proprietary 'artisan roasting' process to express the flavour to its fullest potential. Although more difficult and time consuming to carry out, this technique offers incomparable results, as each matcha blend is characterised by its sweet umami flavour profile, unrivalled by other industrially processed matcha on the market. This has earned our matcha exclusive appeal and increasing reputation.
