The heat process transforms or evaporates certain compounds, including caffeine. Additionally, Houjicha is often made from Bancha, a tea harvested later in the season and naturally lower in caffeine than the early spring harvests. The final result contains between 7 and 20 mg per cup, which is 4 to 10 times less than a standard coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"theo-card-details\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pill\"\u003ePreparation\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eCan I drink Houjicha in the evening without disturbing my sleep?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rows\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoujicha is specifically recommended for evening consumption due to its very low caffeine content.
