Akari Houjicha (50g)
$28.00
Toasty • Nutty • Smooth
Meet Akari (光) - our signature houjicha, crafted by an award-winning, fourth-generation tea farmer in Yame, Japan.
Akari is lightly roasted for a naturally sweet profile, revealing comforting layers of caramel, vanilla, and milk chocolate with a delicate nutty finish. Its name, Akari, meaning “light” in Japanese, reflects the calm, comforting energy it brings to your daily ritual.
Houjicha, or “roasted tea,” is made from carefully selected leaves and stems, slow-roasted to preserve flavour while naturally reducing caffeine. Our blend uses premium gyokuro harvests, resulting in a smooth, mellow tea that’s easy on the body - perfect for afternoons, evenings, or any moment when you want to slow down.

A Note on Packaging
Our matcha is freshly sealed in a foil pouch in Yame, then tucked into our paper box before it reaches you. The pouch keeps the matcha fresh, while the box adds a gentle and tactile experience when opening your order.
It is designed to refill a tin you already love - or maybe one of ours: seamless, soft-edged, and crafted to last through many seasons.
We don't believe in endless containers - just the right one, used well. This is our small quiet step toward a slower, less wasteful way to enjoy matcha.
Note: Please store your powder in the refrigerator at all times for the best flavour and vibrancy.
