Houjicha
Ingredients: 100% Organic green tea leaves
For those who want to enjoy the benefits of tea without all the caffeine, you might try Houjicha. This Japanese bancha green tea was toasted in a porcelain pot which greatly reduces the caffeine and tannin levels without removing the L-Theanine and Chlorophyll. Brews a golden cup with a toasty, nutty aroma and rich flavors like coffee, chocolate, and roasted barley.
Water: 205-210°F | Leaf: 3-5 grams/2 tsp per 12 ounce cup | Infusion Time: 1-3 minutes depending on taste
Basic Steeping Tips
- Use filtered or spring water, whenever possible
- Don’t over-boil water
- Remove leaves after recommended time (adjust to taste)
- If you want stronger tea, use more leaves instead of steeping for a longer time
