Description
Our Premium Hojicha powder is made from green tea leaves from the first spring harvest in the mountainous region of Shizuoka, Japan. Surprisingly, despite its brown color, Hojicha is a green tea. This brown color comes from roasting the leaves, which brings out caramelized, woody and cocoa notes, giving it a unique bitter-free flavor.
Unlike some Hojicha, our Premium Hojicha powder does not contain late-harvest tea leaves, stems, or veins but exclusively a meticulous selection of the very best parts of the first spring harvest leaves, which are roasted and ground to obtain an extremely delicate powder with a beautiful brown color.
Hojicha contains little caffeine and can therefore be enjoyed throughout the day or even in the evening. Like Matcha and green tea, Hojicha is an excellent source of antioxidants and offers numerous health benefits: it strengthens the immune system, boosts the metabolism, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, improves skin tone, is anti-inflammatory, and has a relaxing effect.
Our Hojicha powder dissolves very easily in water and can be used to make delicious Hojicha Lattes (we recommend using oat milk) or even Hojicha-based desserts: ice cream, custard, cookies, brownies, cakes, etc.
Prepare a Hojicha Latte, make yourself comfortable and enjoy a pleasant moment of sweetness.
