Organic Japanese Hojicha Powder

A roasted Japanese green tea ground into a fine powder; deep amber color, nutty and slightly chocolatey, with a natural mellow sweetness. The roasted, comforting cousin to matcha, lower in caffeine and easier to drink any time of day.

Organic · Vegan · Single-Origin · Medium Caffeine

Why we like it

• Real Japanese hojicha, made from green tea leaves carefully roasted to develop their nutty, almost chocolatey flavor
• Less caffeine and less astringency than matcha; works for evening lattes when matcha would be too stimulating
• 16-20 cups per ounce; one tin goes a long way, especially as lattes

Details

• Maker: Culinary Teas
• Origin: Japan
• Best for: hojicha lattes (hot or iced), afternoon and evening cups, anyone who finds matcha too grassy or strong, baking

How to enjoy

Whisk 1-2 teaspoons of hojicha powder with 8oz of 170-180°F water for about 3 minutes until smooth. For a latte, use less water and add hot or cold milk to taste. Oat milk and a pinch of cinnamon work especially well, hojicha's nutty character takes warm spices beautifully.
