Kuki Hojicha, Super Premium Light Roast Green Tea Powder, 50g

In Uji, Japan — where centuries of tea tradition meet modern refinement — Kuki Hojicha stands apart. Instead of leaves, this exceptional hojicha is made from carefully selected tea stems (kuki), which naturally contain higher levels of aromatic compounds like pyrazines and furans. These stems are gently roasted at lower temperatures to preserve their fragrance, resulting in a subtly sweet, nutty aroma that outshines darker, leaf-based hojicha.

The roasting is intentionally light — avoiding the heavy char of some hojicha — to preserve the tea’s layered character and clean, toasted finish. The powder appears chestnut-toned with a soft green hue, a visual cue to its freshness and complexity.

Once a hidden gem known mainly among tea connoisseurs, Kuki Hojicha powder has become a favourite among pastry chefs and baristas for its delicate roast profile and sophisticated versatility.

Kuki Hojicha Powder works well in:

• Specialty lattes and milk-based drinks
• Cremeux, ganache, and chocolate fillings
• Delicate baked goods (chiffon, castella, sable)
• Sophisticated sauces, caramel bases, and glazes
