Premium Hojicha Powder (Shizuoka)

Description

Made from spring-harvested Japanese green tea leaves, this hojicha is lightly steamed before being roasted at high temperature, a process that preserves the integrity of the leaf while allowing deeper aroma and flavour to develop.

The roasting transforms the tea into a warm, toasty profile with a smooth, rounded body and naturally reduced bitterness. The result is a hojicha that feels grounded and easy to enjoy, with a clean finish that doesn’t linger harshly.

Compared to matcha, hojicha offers a more mellow and comforting experience, with a softer flavour profile that suits both traditional preparation and modern use.

Best for hojicha lattes, iced drinks, baking & desserts, and daily use.
