As a rule, Houjicha is made by roasting Bancha tea leaves. “Bancha” literally means “regular tea”. The tea leaves are allowed to grow large for maximum yield, resulting in higher levels of catechin in the leaf, making them very reach in antioxidants, but also with more bitterness. However, Bancha is harvested in summer or fall so the leaf ends up containing less catechin than if the tea was harvested in spring. Roasted Bancha, or Houjicha, due to roasting process is much less bitter and very soft and pleasant to the palate.
