Hojicha, Premium Light Roast Green Tea Powder, 50g

On the main street in Uji, a small town just south of Kyoto, Japan, the scent of freshly roasted hojicha drifts through the air. The town is famous for producing Japan’s finest green teas, and local tea merchants often roast tea just outside their shops to draw customers in with this inviting aroma.

Unlike the common dark-roasted hojicha that prioritizes intensity over aroma, this premium hojicha is gently roasted at lower temperatures to preserve the tea’s natural sweetness and delicate fragrance. The result is a warm, subtly sweet powder with notes of caramel, toasted nuts, and a touch of smokiness — without the bitterness or burnt character often found in darker roasts.

Naturally low in caffeine, hojicha is traditionally enjoyed after meals. Its rising popularity in dessert cafés has led to the creation of this easy-to-use powdered form, perfect for both drinks and desserts.

Hojicha Powder works well on:

• Latte and smoothies
• Cremeux, ganaches, chocolates
• Cookies, cakes, sauces
• Kakigori syrup
