HOJICHA POWDER Roasted Green Tea

*Packaging info: our Biophotonic Glass jar makes a great reusable eco-friendly container to store Hojicha. Once your initial 50g batch runs out, simply purchase our 50g Refill bags to top up your jar (read more about the light-blocking properties of this jar below).

Hojicha Powder is a popular and delicious Japanese staple tea ingredient, ideal for blended drinks and desserts.

We now offer Hojicha powder in 3 different levels of roasting:

• Medium Roast
• Light Roast
• Dark Roast

Please choose according to taste.

Medium Roast is our most popular blend, with a well-rounded roasted flavour profile, balanced by a nutty aftertaste that recalls notes of milk chocolate. Ideal all-rounder roast for Hojicha Latte, as well as fresh creams and fillings in dessert making.

Light Roast is our most delicate and aromatic blend, made by lightly roasting green tea stems. This blend has an incredibly inviting aroma that reminds us of roasted hazelnuts. It features a mild roasted fragrance with light floral notes and a lingering nutty aftertaste.

Dark Roast is our strongest and boldest Hojicha. In this blend, the strong level of roast has transformed all the more subtle and fresh notes of green tea into dark chocolate and coffee-like flavours. Highly recommended for baking, particularly for dry cake bases and cookies, where a bolder flavour is required to stand out against other rich ingredients.

All of these blends are best enjoyed when blended with milk or mixed into cakes and desserts. Not recommended as a tea.

Origin: Uji, Kyoto (Japan)

Storage: Seal jar immediately after use and store in a cool dry place, away from moisture and strong odours.

This Hojicha is in powder form. If you are looking for classic whole-leaf Hojicha tea please click here.

Packaging: Biophotonic glass, also known as Miron or Violet glass, is a type of deeply coloured, almost opaque glass that naturally filters the spectrum of visible sunlight, only allowing through Infra-Red and UVA light, or ‘violet’ light. Because of its natural ability to block light, Biophotonic glass protects precious contents from perishing in sunlight, increasing their shelf life and effectiveness.
