HOJICHA POWDER Roasted Green Tea Refill

*Packaging info: designed as a refill for our reusable Biophotonic Glass jar. Once opened, transfer the powder into the jar and keep airtight at all times. As this refill bag does not re-seal, for first-time customers we recommend our resealable 50g bag.

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)

Seal airtight immediately after use to preserve optimal freshness.
