Roasted green tea. Depending on the degree of roasting, the leaves still have a slightly greenish to brown color and a sweet, toasty to intensely roasted aroma. However, the infusion in the cup is usually reddish-brown to amber in color.
Houjicha can be made from a variety of teas; in addition to classic Sencha varieties, Kukicha is also often used.
Houjicha can also be ground or crushed with a mortar and used as a baking ingredient or in desserts.
Houjicha can be made at home using a houroku.
