{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_HkinjcYo","product_name":"Houjicha","category":"Green Tea","description":"The green tea for people who don't like green tea.\nHoujicha is a Japanese green tea roasted over high heat in porcelian pots until the leaves turn reddish-brown and the flavor transforms. The vegetal, grassy character of steamed green tea disappears. What emerges tastes like cocoa, caramel, and toasted nuts. Smooth, naturally sweet, with a clean finish that carries zero astringency. The roasting process also breaks down most of the caffeine and tannins, which makes this the rare green tea you can drink at night.\nThe tea includes both leaves and stems. In Japanese tea nomenclature, stem-inclusive teas are called kukicha. The stems carry more L-theanine than the leaves, an amino acid that contributes a creamy sweetness to the cup. The stems also roast differently than the leaves, which adds textural complexity to the flavor.\nHoujicha showed up in Kyoto in the 1920s as a way to use older leaves and stems that didn't make the grade for premium sencha. The roasting covered the roughness. What started as thrift tea became a staple: gentle on the stomach, hydrating without stimulating, served in Japanese schools and hospitals for exactly that reason. Warm, toasty, comforting.","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/houjicha-loose-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851319","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/houjicha-brewed-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851320","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/houjicha-tin-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851316"],"price":18,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":19998,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:46:16.915Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_HkinjcYo","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
